Photograph of the day - Landscapes

Magnificent view of Chakkilidurg on left and Rajagiri on right from Krishnagiri at Gingee

This photo was taken when climbing Krishnagiri during my first trip to Gingee in 2003. The sky was overcast by clouds as used to be in those times whenever I used to set out for photography expiditions! Interestingly even today it happens many times. In the photograph posted here is a sky-blue tint that is added to the sky in the top portion of the image for a better effet.

Camera: Vivitar 3800N Film SLR with 28-70 mm lens

Photograph of the day - Butterflies

Gingee Fort is a paradise for butterflies lovers. This photo is taken on the citadel of the Fort where this butterfly was resting on a flower near the edge of a cliff, just away from the strong breeze coming over from the valley below. The flower is not visible in the photograph. I, as a fluid mechanics lover, would like to say that the butterfly was resting inside the boudary layer where the flow was pleasingly laminar and was just next to still; whereas the turbulent air current was flowing above my head (and that of the butterfly too!). I must compliment the butterfly as it behaved extremely well during the shoot-out that lasted some fifteen minutes.

Photograph is taken on one fine morning in Panchagani (near Mahabaleshwar) February 2002. The fog was getting thinner as morning sun had just appeared in the sky. The hill the left side can be found on Wikimapia whereas we were standing on the other side of the canal by road side.
