Botography makes Uncanny very happy!



Beach+A best friend+Nikkon 3000D = A beaming Uncanny!!!



Finally, after days of planning and many overslept mornings, me and my friend made it to the thiruvanmiyur pebbles beach to take shots of the early morning sunrise. But we went a tad late just in time for the sun to settle right over our head. And to add fuel to fire, the day was ever so gloomy.so whatever was clicked that day was all grey and black. Out of the 200 odd shots clicked etho therunathu ithu thaan,...


RaMmm : its not as good as your beach shots, but tried something.... ;) ennala mudinjathu....

And on popular demand, Mr. Crow or miss i dunno.....We did click few crow pics that day...funny that gils asked!!

Hee Hee Hee. Smiling at chennaigirl's smiley comment.

The photos bring the mood out well and the captions are really, really beautiful. I loved the fonts too. Photoshop? Probably you could have started when the sun wasn't yet fully out, and contrast with a smaller aperture (larger f-stop) for 'towards the sun' shots to avoid very bright exposure.

200 shots!!! that's the thing about technology with digital cameras. You can experiment as much as you can unlike the films where you cannot afford to. innum 4 or 5 photosaavadhu podunga.

Were your photos taken in raw format or native JPEGs? Did you play around with the aperture, ISO settings to get different moods?

I am a random, impulsive photographer. Maybe the situation was right when I took those beachers. So, don't compare with me. What I see comes rarely as it is in the photos. :)

@ RamMmmm,

Danks Danks!! Yes..All the post production editing was done in photoshop.

//Probably you could have started when the sun wasn't yet fully out, and contrast with a smaller aperture//

That was the problem, at 9am the sun was scorching hot, almost over our heads..We did experiment alot with the exposure.,need to do our homework before we hit the beach again..

TheUncanny, Do you have a Flickr or a Picasa stream where you upload? Let us know. Never knew that you were "so" crazy on photography (thanks lakshmi for the flashback)

//'m posting this comment after hitting your page some 50 times literally //

Oh finally,I was having the same problem at work,thot some bug in my browser in my office system. Anyways,I guess it was due to some gadget on my blog which was redirecting to some other sites.I've removed those widgets now, hope it doesnt happen again.

//I dont see an end to your Kaaka chronicles ;) //
