Dynamic landscapes of Lavasa - valley, mountains and river

I had absolutely fallen in love with the landscapes of Lavasa. The main reason being the various vantage points while getting to and moving around Lavasa. 

So the series continues with a few more shots of the valley and mountains. The flowing river and dramatic clouds add to the dynamism of the landscape, to which, I hope I've done some justice.

Now, let's try create a bit of drama through HDR.

And here's the original for reference.

Worth hearing your comments and feedback for the HDR effort. 


 

Lavasa Waterfront at Twilight

After a long hiatus, I return for Project 365, where either I'll upload or take a photo each day. So, we restart from where we left, Lavasa, a beautiful hill station nestled in Maharashtra. 

Here are three shots of the Lavasa Waterfront, which is the promenade, around the twilight hour. Let's have your pick off the three shots. 

Included are parts of the Dasvino Club

I'd love to know your personal favourite off the three and also if you've got any suggestions on the shots.

A Paddy Field

A Paddy Field

 En route Lavasa, we came across this small paddy (I hope I've got this right) field with a bunch of farmers. The sight was quite pleasing for us to see but certainly quite a task to be doing in those conditions.

The old-school manual way of ploughing a field using bullocks

 I certainly have tried my hands at this; have you ever tried manual ploughing?

A dense cloud cover

A Dense Cloud Cover

Hill stations offer tranquility and scenic views and one such view is a dense cloud cover that literally gives a 'walk in the clouds' feel. 

Doesn't it? 

For those who love soaking up to a downpour, it's all just begun!

Travel and Photos

Travel and Photos

Travel and photos; the return. It's been almost a year and a half since I have unwillingly been away with this blog and my fellow blogger friends. I've also, sadly, not been able to spend enough time with my camera and on my travels.

But then, the time seemed to have come when this aloofness has started to hit me. And here I am continuing where I left to share and learn. 

It's the peak of monsoons here in Mumbai, India, so what better way to start with the current feel and mood!

As always, feedback appreciated and criticism welcomed.

Both shots, en route Lavasa

And I do sincerely hope to be here regularly and respond to comments and email; and of course, kick start Saturday Sareenity very soon!
