thanks johnda! I've been seeing lots of nice shots of poovar, and I wanted to make a trip there. i think it was redfire who had posted some nice pics from the same place.

If you notice, all pics are in the same direction, same set of coconut tree on the right end! but there's a 'sand bar' (beach) and that's the best part. a lil boat can take you over and like most of the time - I forgot to take the camera.
The view is awesome from there.
You must plan a trip, pls PM me if you need any help, I have a few friends who can help.

Nice one Riju, these SE cybershot camera phones are mind blowing.
Here's one from my SE k810i. Actually both the 790i and 810i have exactly the same sensor n lens.

Totally Cool! what camera and lens do you use RedRage? The bird ones are amazing!
cheers:

[redrage]

Thanks Johnda, But im really not somehow impressed with the grains on my pictures , ISO 400, 640 is turning out to be very nosiy on my 40D+55-250 IS, dont know why, I thought atleast till 800 ISO it would be ok, but somehow thats not the case. Had to reduce through noise reduction to a large extent.

eh Dilip good pics man. What time do you get there to get these shots ? Also I hate bird droppings and hence birding hasn't really caught my eye yet .

Thnks Riju, I was there between 4:45 and 5:45 in the evening.

More than the bird droppings, thinking of focal lengths to capture these birds im more scared of droppings from my wallet !! My friend had once joked that i should go to a bird shop in Russell market, take some leaves and twigs set these birds around that and click using a 18-55

OT: Riju are you game for early morning snapping this saturday at Nandhi Hills? Do let me know.
