Mahabs Escapade !!!

A trip that was planned at the neck of a moment. A Personal trip indeed.

1) Me 2) Samyak & 3) Harini_Samyak started a little late after lots of hurdles,
Another 1 hr was stolen by Harini even before crossing Chennai border. This is the first time i see harini a little fussy. Might be she needed some extra attention!!! Samyak would be the right person to answer it :-(

When we headed out of Chennai, the sun was burning right on our faces. It was indeed a bad sign that it was already 11 AM that we reached Mahabalipuram Shore temple.

But still we were lucky to click a few birds and it was this trip i was craving for a sharp lens.














































For a change , Clicked some photographs with people to give a finishing touch.


On our way back, we visited the Crocodile bank and were able to click some more photos. I am sure we would be planning for yet another trip to the Croc bank where we would like to stay there for a night amongst 100's of crocodiles in the Croc bank!

We were happy that Samyak's Harini didnt create any problem except that she had a flat tyre in the begining of our trip.

It was Pramod who initiated this trip was not able to join us at the last moment. This post is dedicated to "Pramod - A volunteer of the Crocodile Bank of Chennai"

Cousins wedding - A family get-together

Its been years that i stopped clicking people and turned my interest to wildlife and landscape.

Reasons:
1) I can take my own time to process the photos and post online (neither the landscape or the wildlife would ask you when the photos would come online :-)
2) Neither of the both would come and say that I clicked it when it was showing its teeth, when the eyes were closed. ( a few bad experiences in the past )
3) neither of the both would ask for prints of the photos that were clicked.

I know the above mentioned reasons might be because of the expectations that they have on my clicks, but the problem i face is "Neither" do i have a laptop or an internet connection to transfer my images to and upload online "nor" am i rich enough to both invest on the equipment and also for the prints that i should give to the people whom i click :-) , Wont it be great if the person whom i click sponsors me in terms of equipment or atleast the trips that i undertake for photography or atleast pay for my service and make me happy as well!!! Am i sounding that i am planning to do things commercially. Might be :-)


Let me come back to the story, It was after a very long time that we met all our relatives and friends on the ocassion of my Cousins wedding. So thought that i would use the opportunity to click a few photographs of people - (not wild people).

















All the photos were clicked candid except the above 2.







I believe these birds even thought were not human, adds to the mood of the marriage ceremony !!!!
