@vishnuvijay- that is an understatement!multiply the qouted figures by a factor of 10. the main thing is that the smooth roads are also accompanied by light but disciplined, ghat driving aware traffic. it is bliss!!!!!

most of the photos were on the N73, which is my main travelogue camera, as I can charge it in my car, I have a 2GB card which gives me virtually unlimited storage.
the serious camera is the Canon EOS 350D, taken out only when the N73 finds the going tough. which is not very often.

@rippergeo, were you able to spot the frogs easily?? looks like the 70-300mm lens came in handy! |
the N73 I had kept on vivid colour mode while shooting. i prefer my pics that way. but I have'nt upped the colour sats a lot. its just that the light was good and the colours came out well. if you notice the sky, there were plenty of clouds to reflect and diffuse the light. that helped a lot.
The frogs were a massive stroke of luck. was out walking in the morning in thodupuzha with my 7 month old son, saw the frogs, ran as fast as i could back home, handed my son over to a very surprised and sleepy wife, grabbed the camera and rushed out praying that they were still there.
took some shots with the 18-55 at max zoom and was disappointed. then shifted to the 70-300, zoomed as much as I could a squeezed of at least 20-30 shots with various auto and manual settings.
the models were very obliging!!
@mansidea- not fair dude!!! you have a 4WD so you can go to places and take pics that i can only dream of....not fair.
BTW, where did you do those pics?will a RWD car with 210mm GC make it there?
@Zak- this trip was revenge for the BETRAYAL!
to others who didnt understand that, read this thread in detail
http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/team-b...t-drive-8.html (April 2008 Cochin - 4 days of meets and 1 great drive!)
I have run out of photos to post from this trip. maybe mansidea can post somemore. he was in the same locality.
I plan to continue using this thread to popularise idukki, so I will add the photos from all my future trips into this thread. is that a good Idea? or should I start a new thread for the next trip I do? dont know when It will be.
