Sunrise from Kemmanagundi

After a gap of 4 months, I have returned again with some photos to share. In the month of March, I went to a short trip to Chikmagalur-Kemmanagundi. It's a hill station in Karnataka and famous for Coffee Plantation. Our trip was started with a 8 km trekking from Rajbhavan (horticulture resort at Kemmanagundi) to Hebbe falls. I heard that the sunrise and sunset from Rajbhavan is marvelous. I am not lucky enough to get that view but was able to capture this majestic moment.

Monochrome Clouds

A monochrome cloudscape snap from Dakshineswar Ghat (Kolkata). I was heading to our frequent destination Belur accompanied by my friend Piyali. We were about to ride a boat to Belur from Dakshineswar Ghat when I noticed this excellent cloudscape over Ganges. I had took a snap in normal mode. But later I convert it t monochrome using Adobe Photoshop for experiment purpose.

The Observer

Again a snap from my Digha tour. Taken it on Udaipur beach while roaming around. The boats were aligned on the beach after a hard and tough night of fishing. But the smell of fish brought a large number of crows to the site. I am lucky to capture one of them when he/she was busy in observing the beach.

Digha: Splash

Around 12:30 pm we arrived Digha. A long journey from Kolkata and some tire punctures :P made us really tired. But before checking in to the hotel, I rushed to the sea shore to feel the cold salty wind. And as usually my camera was with me which help me to take this snap. The waves were really splashing against the shore continuously. So I named this pic as Splash :)
