How to capture "Team Work"?

Our department comes up with interesting idea once in a while. And now it has put up a Photography contest and the choice of topics are "Company Values" and "Team Work". Now the main rule is that I have to take photos especially for this contest and can not use the already taken ones. So I can not use our Treat photos to show our team work in finishing off the Birthday boy's wallet. My evil mind is having troubles in thinking of creative ways to show case "Team work" other than planning to trip down the project manager by a rope. So I request you all, my beloved readers who rarely (never) comment for my posts to break the silence and help me with good ideas for the contest. If commenting on the blog is not comfortable with you, please send me a mail or leave an offline message in the IM or send a SMS or call to my mobile if you know the phone number.

Prizes if won will obviously be shared with those who help me out. Of course, the percentage of your share will be decided later after I receive the prize.

UPDATE: The contest is extended till 26th September 2008. So keep pouring your ideas.

Shooting the moon

நித்தமும் சிந்தித்தேன்;
இருள்வரை யோசித்தேன்.
உன் புகழினை படிக்க;
கவிதை ஒன்றை இயற்ற.
தோன்றவில்லை மனதில்;
அவளைக்கண்ட மறுபொழுதில்.

Every second, I thought;
Till the night, I tried.
To express your glory
To recite a poem for you.
But no words came to my mind;
From the moment she was in my sight.

Long-tailed Vinay says Cheeze!

Here for your eyes is "Long-tailed Vinay" who readily posed infront of my Nikon D40 camera while sitting (or standing) on the ceiling of our kitchen. When my 200mm lens could not get a close-up shot, he/she/it was kind enough to move under the kitchen shelf bringing him/her/it-self closer to my camera letting me shoot at various angles.

If you are wondering about the name, it was named after my flatmate Vinayak who first discovered the insect in our kitchen. Also, as the name explains itself, it had a very long tail atleast twice the side of its abdomen. (Please don't ask whether insects will have tail.)


Also, this is one of my worthy-to-mention snap that I am able to create after days of fruitless experiments on telephoto, potrait and finally macro photography. If you do not find this good enough, and think you can easily take a better photo, please keep it in your computer and dont you dare show it to me. Just kidding. Seriously, please do share your inputs and corrections on improving my skills.
