Great pictures. Which time of the year it was? We couldn't go there due to landslide and flood. That was in July/August last year.

We also went around the same time...july end/ aug first week.
We couldnt go to Tso Moriri because of bad weather...so stayed near Pangong Tso for one more day...it was really worth it.

tifosikrishna, talk about coincidendes, I took a very very similar pic for a photography contest!
But it the sky came out bluish, I need to reshoot or do some PP. Hopefully it will be similarly foggy during evening in delhi tomorrow

tifosikrishna · 3rd February 2007, 22:59

btw, what contest is it?

I will upload it once I get it right.
The contest title is "numbers". And I was thinking just the Sun or the moon, as number zero.
I improvised a bit and tried to frame the sun against a pole to make appear like number 10, but sadly all my attempts went kaput.
Will try from a different angle.

Rehaan, partial metering was done on the sun with an exposure bias of -2, hence severe underexposure of all other areas.

to give you an idea, this was how the ambient light was.

tsk1979 · 4th February 2007, 12:28

tifosikrishna is in chennai I suppose, not Delhi, but yes, delhi is getting a lot of mist in evenings and mornings

Manipal, early morning. Samurai was kind enough to get up and bring me here.

Same place, pulled back with 50mm normal.

From Manipal top. Late evening.

The second one amazing Rudra, that's a very creative composition. Folks, there is lots more to come... may be it deserves a separate thread. A thread on how to make ordinary places look extraordinary.

Edit: Actually, the first two are shot in Badagabettu village neighbouring Manipal, the last one is at End Point, Manipal.
