Clouds at Munnar

One of the luxaries of having so many digital camera at your disposal is that you cant miss any opportuntiy to take a good photograph. We were ready to come down from the Cliff Hut (at border of Kerala-TN), where we stayed for a night on our trek in Munnar. I was awake, right from 6 that morning to click some good pics and indeed it was worth getting up at that time cuz i got some fantastic shots. I will post them surely later. I just saw the sky for a moment and took this picture using my friend's Canon Powershot A-85 Digital Camera. That was the only camera which was out at that moment. I have packed mine in the bag and didnt want to miss movement of clouds. Even after having high shutter speed of 1/1000 sec you can imagine the speed at which clouds were floating by just looking at the picture. Also, I loved the contrast in the pic.

Pretty Flower - Macro View

Dont ask me which flower it is :( but i loved the color combination in it. I captured this picture in Munnar at our resort in morning.

Munnar Landscape

I took this photo while coming down from the top of the hill as a part of our trek using my friend's Olympus C-765 Digital Camera. Its a nice camera and takes some good pictures. Forest, Tea Gardens, sky and clouds make a pretty view for this picture.

Matteputty Dam Lake

My first serious landscape Photograph with tripod.

Location: Matteputy Dam Lake, Munnar

I took 6 pics adjacent to each other and joined them using my camera software. The key is to overlap 30% area minimum in two adjacent pic and use a tripod and just move it along. Dont disturb any of the settings of the camera and shoot with minimum time lag possible ( helps a lot if weather is changing like here). A tripod is must for this kind of photograph and the clarity of pic taken with tripod is miles ahead with the one taken without tripod.

I have tried to show more of water out here to make the lake look large. If anyone is intrested in having the original size, then visit here or mail me at dkmc705@yahoo.co.uk

The top

Another pic taken at Orkut Delhi Meet 2, though by a very dear friend of mine - Prashant. He is also into photography just like me. It shows the light pattern at the ceiling of Cafe 100.

Glass Pattern

Pic taken at Orkut Delhi Meet 2. We were just experimenting with glass patterns at Cafe 100. I have used soft focus feature of Picasa to bring out the final picture.
