Yes, Velankanni is our favourite pilgrimage.
We went via Erode and Trichy. I will reveal more as the story starts. Quote:

Thank you Elantra! Just wait till you see the rest of the pics! It may sound like a cliche', but 'The Best Is Yet To Come'! Quote:

Smartcat, it was drizzling at that time. Photographing lightning is really a painstaking work. I spent three hours in my balcony to get these shots. It is a lottery, guessing where the next lightning strike is going to be. You will need luck on your side. And yes, a camera in which you can control the shutter speed and a tripod. You will find it extremely difficult to take these kind of shots with a P & S camera. Quote:

Oh, do I need to mention about how far you have progressed in your photography skills! Its no good to repeat the obvious!
No wonder then the moment you announced you are going to start another travelogue (doesn't matter if it is in the same thread), 'virtual touring flies' like us have started to flock around this thread in good numbers! And appetizers have done their job so seriously that its not possible to give you more then this one day to have a breather. Tomorrow onwards, you have got to unfold the story in the same gear in which you drive the Chevy. ![Smile](https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.png) |
Thank you for the appreciation, my friend. I was away for a long time from Team BHP. It feels so good to be welcomed back.
I will be posting my travelogue as when I get time. I hope that I'll be able to finish it soon. I have some stunning pics coming up. I spend hours trying to get the perfect shot. I hope my effort pays off here! There will be absolutely NO repeats here! |
