This is a beautiful sunset at India’s farthest point down South. This place was a sparsely populated beach close to Kanyakumari. It feels wonderful to be at the extreme end of India.

Awaiting the rains
I shot this image using a Samyang 14 f/2.8 lens, mounted on a 5D Mark II. This combination produces excellent results. I took 3 different exposures to balance the top half and bottom half of the composition. This image was made in Melkote, on one of the Darter photography tours.
Melkote
“I once took the blue pill…” Honestly, I did not know what to call this photograph. What struck me the most was this vibrant door, among these pillars. The door signified a way to move from one realm to another. Just like how in the movie “The Matrix”, the choice of the blue pill or white pill gives Neo a chance to move between realms. Hence the title for this image.

One Headlight
“One Headlight” is a popular song by a band called “The Wallflowers.” What could represent this song better, than this photograph? 🙂
Gecko!
I found this peeping tom atop a tree at Nandi. Our photography trips to Nandi are generally to capture birds and maybe landscapes (if the season is right). However, there are small other photo ops which delight photogs like me who are not totally into birding.
