thanks satish, black and whites can make anything look beautiful, its a wonderful medium. i am planning to try out infra red photography for landscapes; the almost ethereal quality it brings out in a landscape is something i am waiting to try out. but my camera doesn't support IR :(

Wow are you ever a great photographer!! Incredibly beautiful. I'm glad I discovered you. I clicked on a comment you made on Dr. Kishore's blog. I also really like your description of yourself. you are a classic introvert like myself. We love to be alone, and where better than in the beauty of nature. I was lucky to have grown up in nature on a farm in Canada. i will keep coming back to your blog to see yours photos.

Sudarshan, i am looking at quite a few routes for a nice trek in february, hope you could come along.

I wanted to post a comment on your pondicherry pic but I am unable to, for some technical reason. Just wanted to say that, it seems to me like the sky is in turmoil and the ocean is calm.A very nice pic.

Vivek M said...

Satish, of course you can join us. but like i said, i am still 'planning'. never been to Silent Valley, would love to do that trek, maybe you could take the lead..?

IR is a special kind of photography. i first got to learn about them when i saw the works of Ian Lockwood. he documents the anaimudi range mainly with IR film. we shall talk more about them when we meet up.
