In A Row!!!

We had another photo walk on last Saturday. As we got down from train at Howrah station, we crossed the Howrah bridge and started our morning. We roamed around the ghats of Ganges, we explored the Flower market, we had good experience of Kolkata in the morning and yes, we went to Kumartuli again that day. My new Kumartuli photos will be coming on a seperate post. For now enjoy the Kolkata morning photos. Do let me know what you like in them. . . . → Read More: Another Kolkata Morning Photo Walk

Flower Shower

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
