After the hectic shooting at Vintage Car Rally, we went to Alipore Horticultural Society, where there was a Flower Exhibition going on. Although I didn’t have a good lens for those flowers, bees and butterflies (I only have one 18-105mm 3.5-5.6 kit lens), this is the modest output of that day. I also tried a few shots with Tumpa’s 80-200mm 2.8 master piece lens, but it was too heavy to easily operate for the first time. . . . → Read More: Flower Shower

North Bengal-Sikkim Trek Travelogue and Photos

Here goes the travelogue and the photos taken during the North Bengal-Sikkim Trek. We went for this trek when I was in 3rd year of my engineering. It was one of the most memorable journeys of my life. We were nine and went for a nine day trip. Our trek route was a bit unusual and travelers generally don’t follow this route. We wanted to have it that way so that we can explore some lesser-known places. The actual trip that was planned was to follow the route as Siliguri-> Maneybhanjung -> Chitre -> Tonglu -> Dhotre -> Rimbik -> Shreekhola -> Samanden/Gorkey -> Tonglu -> Sandakhphu -> …. -> Siliguri; but we had to divert our trip from Gorkey to Jorthang and then back to Siliguri.We were going fine, but Tumpa had caught cold and had a soar throat. . . . → Read More: North Bengal-Sikkim Trek Travelogue and Photos
