Elephant Beach, Havelock Island, India
It’s amazing how the water changes color with the light.. here it’s reflecting the inky gray of the sky..there’s gonna be rain, lots of it..
Elephant Beach, Havelock Island, India.

Pengongtse Lake- Laddakh (India)
Its beautiful lake, some part in China and some in India. No living things in it, as it has brackish water.
Colors beyond capture
Eye-defying colors of a cloud bank gathered over the emerald green Nilgiri Hills, catching the last rays of the setting sun…
The dynamic and chromatic range nature can exhibit is beyond the capability of present-day technology to capture: The best effort is, at best, an approximation!
This is my first High Dynamic Range (HDR) image – the HDR technological evolution at least slightly improves the capability of cameras to capture the riot of color that nature has wrought.

Some backyards have better views
The mountain in the distance is Kanchenjunga. More about the mountain here. And here is my set on this beautiful mountain.
The LARGE view is better, of course.
NOTE: This is another one of my unintended/accidental HDR photos. I took this photo (two photos, actually) in December of 2003, at a time when I was unaware of the concept of HDR. I was quite aware of the limitations of exposure lattitude though. So, standing at the same spot, more or less, I took two handheld shots of the scene at different exposures – one, for the mountain and the sky, and the other for the foreground. Now, years later, I am able to combine them into a blended photo.
If you look at the top right hand corner of the frame, you will see the outlines of the mountain from the two shots not lining up perfectly. Of course, I was not careful about keeping the frames identical, and must have moved a bit, one way or the other.
