On top of the world

Ok, so it was my first experience on air... and so was the first experience of aerial photography. Taking pics from the sky is an all different feeling and so is the photography technique. Most of the times, you're hovering over the blanket of clouds with blue sky above. Also a thing ti note is the fact that there's a lot of white all around and so is the light reflection. Clicking pics of cloud in auto mode can be a daunting task since the camera wont be able to find much contract in the pic, so manual focus would serve much better. Also make sure that the exposure is kept kept down by a couple of stops. 
Regarding the usage of camera on flight- I went through many discussion forums and websites and found that there is absolutely no harm in using camera on planes. Take as many photos as you wish but make sure you don't disturb the people around you!



In the God's own country...

Visit to homeland is always a special one... more so when its  the 'God's own country'. I can proudly tell you that I belong to Kerala- the place of great culture, wonderful people and lush greenery everywhere you go. Though I am very excited about my photographic works in Kerala , but let me tell you that my brief visit to Kerala was a consequence of my grandma's sustained illness(she passed away the very night we reached her). May her soul rest in peace, n I must admit she was a very lucky person indeed to have spend her last moments with all her children and grandchildren near her. Coming back to the topic, what made the whole journey more worthwhile were my cousins and their lively presence all throughout my journey. Though it was unbearably hot n humid most of the days, which I suppose was the reason for my camera malfunctioning many a times. But as you can see(and I hope you liked a few) I somehow managed to get some good snaps.
My Kerala visit lasted for 2 weeks from 9th of April to 23rd.
