Tanveer ji,

That idea of compiling your travel experiences with pics in a book is really worth attempting. The amazing pics that you take will make it attractive to any publisher, not to mention your narration skills.

Yes, in these pics, Khajjiar really looks like Switzerland. I have been to Khajiar for a brief stopover on an official visit to Chamba. It was beautiful, but you have shown a hidden and wonderfull side of those less polluted sites. So, you have made, so many heading towards that place.

Please start compiling your logs and photos.. you will find a publisher or a publisher may find you. I am sure it will make a good read. I would also suggest sending a copy to lonely planet magazine, they just started in India. I am sure they will love your stuff.

Regards
Ruler of Sun

Thanks for your kind words. But seriously lonely planet level is too high. I guess I have a lot more to learn till I reach that level

I once booked binsar for two nights. It did not take us long to run away from there in one night.

Glad you liked it. Chamba is indeed a lovely place, and kalatop is a jewel among them

Lovely photos and nice place Tanveer. Would love to see some pics of your in flight shots.

I think the pictures taken have a very strong X factor and shows the love for camera and the nature.Absolutely mesmerising sunset seen in a long time.

Its not as high as Dain Kund, or the airforce station, but nevertheless, a great vantage point

The wind was the culprit. I was stationed at the "best point" but immediately after takeoff, the wind took the parachute in a totally different direction!

Hey,TSK I have to post pics of my new car. I use a prosumer, a Canon S-5 IS. Pl advise best time to shoot. How to keep the flash glare and other reflections out?

gd1418 · 7th March 2010, 18:06

Tan, how did I miss this travelogue? Great pics..as usual.

Great shots tsk1979. Khajjiar is in my radar too. Did Amritsar, Dharamshala this Jan.

Do you use REMOTE SHUTTER RELEASE CORD for long exposure or do it manually ?

kiku007 · 7th March 2010, 20:27

Excellent pictures. I'm hearing about this place for the first time!

Well no hard and fasts rule. Angle of sun etc., on the scene have a lot to do with it
