Just finished the longest trekking I've done, 2 days & 50Kms on foot through Western Ghats to climb the Agastyarkoodam peak.

Sharing some photos taken during the trek. All taken with Sony SLT-A35, 18-55mm.

This is Agastyarkoodam peak as viewed from base camp @18.5Kms of walk. Peak is at 25th Kilometer, so about 6 more kms to climb that!

Wow, great shots. What kind of processing you have done to the first shot? Looks a little cartoonish, right out of Jungle Book.

Thanks Samurai.

The first shot is the result of dynamic range extracted from a raw file, but not with hdr processing. The original click was exposed correctly only for the top portion of the image. So, the bottom portion's exposure was bumped up to +1.00 or so, and this was blended with the original layer in Photoshop using a smooth gradient layer mask. Then some curves were done in PS itself.

I forgot to carry my CPL :(

Some of the best from your cam for sure, as expected. Hope your GPS worked well. How did you manage the power ? Any specific lesson personally learnt ?
