Road trips are fun. They're fun cos you're on your own. They're fun coz you have the option of keeping a chiller stuffed with cold beers at the back. They're fun coz you dont have a definite agenda. And they're fun coz you dont have to put up with public transport in India.
We sat in a car and drove to Mysore, stopping at Ranganthittu, a bird santuary to try our hands at shooting birds. Reached there and realised, we dont have a tele lens. We knew we wouldn't get good shots with an 18-135 at 3.5 - 5.6, but decided to rent out a private boat anyway. The timing was wrong. 11 am in the morning? What was I thinking?
250 bucks lighter and 30 minutes later, we were less than happy with ameature looking pictures. I made a mental note of going back there with a tele some day.
We then drove another 10 km and shacked up at Ginger. That evening, we decided to go shoot Mysore palace during twilight. I love twilight shots. They give you brilliant results. We were at the gates at 6pm, set up the tripod, chose a good vantage point and started clicking. 2 and a half hours later we produced these...
eh its good we have reason to go back. im a chaloo cheezie, i look on the bright side :)
