Dandeli

Had been to Dandeli in the month of January 2015, it was an amazing experience and I had a great time there. Dandeli is in north Karnataka, around 500 Km from Bengaluru.

It is a very good place for nature lovers, bird admirers, photography enthusiasts, people who want to try their hand on water sports and last but not the least people who want to just relax!

Things I loved here:
  • A very nice, peaceful town, weather was little hot during the day time but manageable.
  • White water river rafting, was an experience and I enjoyed it to the core.
  • Bird watching and Bird photography, this was my first time try at Bird photography and I loved every bit of it.
  • The journey, we traveled in our car from Bemgaluru and it was a very enjoyable one, which we friends did after a long time!

These are the highlights of my trip and would elaborate on these in different posts later.

Here are some of the photos which I clicked.

Sunrise, through the tree. Early morning drive




Woodpecker sat there all along on this huge tree and pecking and I stood there seeing it!

The Great horn bill, flew across and started to rest on top of a tree (disappointed I couldn't take good shot of this!)

There was this beautiful seagull, away from it's heard, hovering around the boat checking out what these noisy people were upto!

Photography - 1

This is sort of a come back post on my blog! It has been almost 3 years since I wrote anything on my blog. In fact I had forgotten my login id and password. Got the email id from one of the mail which I had sent to my other email and later recovered the password! I wanted to write so many things but somehow it never happened! Anyway I would want to make some posts on photography along with other things! So here goes...  Wont be writing about my Photography hobby much on this, but I would want to share a pic which I had taken recently. The reason being that it was an experiment or rather I should say my first attempt at Panning photography. Without saying much, let me post the pic! I would let the photo do the talking! Car on the Highway! I used my Canon 550D to take this pic. ISO 800 focal length 50mm exposure time 1/15 sec aperture f/6.7 It was quite an experience, I would share some more pics from the session and would share the experience.

Places to visit from Bangalore - Halebeedu

Bengaluru is a place from which one can plan a lot of short trips and weekend getaways. A lot of trip-worthy places around. I would like to capture and showcase a glimpse of some of these places I visit in the form of short video clips and in the subsequent posts I would write a detailed posts. Halebeedu: Halebeedu temple complex. This 12th century structure has a breathtaking hoysala style architecture, with intricate carvings, mesmerising idols. One loses track of time when they go here and gets lost in the midst of this architecture marvel! Such a rich place this is, yet it feels sad to know that most of the idols are mutilated or destroyed. How can one be so cruel, that they go ahead and try to destroy such a marvellous place? Yet with all the mutilation and onslaught, it is still standing tall, showcasing the great architecture of the 12th century. Halebidu is a around 200 km from Bengaluru, and can easily be a good weekend getaway. If one wants to witness this timeless w...
