Thanks harjeev. I use 18-55 and Sigma 70-300 Apo Dg. I shot the inflight with
Sigma lens.

Excellent Thread and fantastic photographs.

I love it when people like you get out in their cars and discover our incredible country

Amritsar is my paternal town and I have always been going there since childhood and of course it is a foodie haven !

The inflight vulture shots are brilliant. I am debating to get a DSLR myself. 18-55mm is standard with EOS 1000D right ?

I am giving this thread a 5 star by the way for the photos and detailed travelogue points !

Thanks vkochar. Just go for the DSLR. I too had this dalima to go for super zoom camera or a DSLR but end of day DSLR are a generation ahead. I never bothered to work on technical aspect of photography with my digital camera, but with DSLR, i hardly remember when i have ever used in Auto mode always shot in Av/Tv modes.

Go for it buddy

Cant wait going to Dharmshala now, but will prefer CHD to DH and will skip Amritsar.

I am eagerly waiting for my Canon 70-300 IS USM, cant go without it ;-) Sigma did a good job but...i am sure my canon will beat that sharpness :P

BTW already sent out direction and trip plan to my buddies to see when can we kick this off ....thanks for nice pics,, specially the one with fish at Amritsar ;-)

nfs,
i think you should evaluate canon 55-250 is. IS matters, i feel which i shoot in low light condition.
All the best for your trip.

McLeodGanj, takes me back 7 years in time. The church was amazing and as mentioned and very quiet !

Also next to the Norbulingka there was Chinmaya Misson temple which was very very quite ! (I think the Hanuman statue is from there right?)

Nearby I could spot lots of independent houses mostly retired army folks I think. The vista was stunning. The thew and sinews of the overall composition of the place was just awe inspiring.

Even I felt like settling down there !

ampere,
True Norbulingka & Chinmaya Mission are about 1 kms apart. Yes both are very quite place. Hanuman statue and a Sihv Ling are in the same complex. Tapovan is the place where bramachari training is given.

Really a beautiful place.
