Western Ghats

Although the NH17 is  undulating and curvaceous, the lush green Western Ghats make up for all the discomfort. A small part of the highway can be seen in the upper photograph.

I had a 100-400 mm lens attached to photograph any wildlife, if it came across. But when scenes like this dot a long stretch of drive, it is quite cumbersome to keep changing glasses. Hence got these landscapes on a 100 mm F/L, which also helped me eliminate some distracting foreground branches and leaves.

Supsa Landscape

Hills at different distances create various shades of blues. Photographed off Supsa in Georgia. The scene was so beautiful that I hardly had to do any thinking. Just aim the camera, keep the horizon straight and click. Nature can brig in such peace and composure within.

City Lights Hong Kong

the lights of Hong Kong are masked by Smog or Mist and after 9Pm most of the lights are turned off as the offices close down. So i had a small window period to get this Picture. The mist dimmed the light and hence required longer exposure. But longer exposure created problems on a ship which was rolling slighty. The solution was to Boost the ISO levels , here I increased it to 200 and shuter speed of 1.2 sec

Industrial Light and Steam

Vopak terminal At Singapore. Exposure 5 sec. at iso 100. Although the exposure could have been reduced by boosting up the ISO level, I For some reason do it as a last resort.
The Above picture was made with a 8 sec exposure, The water body is purposely made to occupy 2/3rd of the image, just to do away with convention. The long exposure has given good flow to the dark waters.
Japanese Industrial Complex.

Discharging At Japan

Deck of my ship was actually Grey but the sodium lamps give it a green hue. I like the colours in this picture
