Sun, Sea and Me..!

Tannir Bavi Beach-Mangalore





When I first reached there at around 10 a.m there was no one there except a Kulfi vendor who was far away on the main road
After an hour or so a group of guys came by.. were there for some 20 min. and after that it was back to square one-Sun,sand and the sea n Me
After a few trial shots, got quite a decent snap of water splashing


The place where I took the photograph, the water level was nearly up till my chest and the waves were hitting hard.I wanted to capture that swirl at any cost(I really don't now why!)...
I took out a plastic cover and put the camera into that. Then as and when the waves approached I'd click it and quickly put the camera in the plastic cover and lift my both hands up to protect the camera from the splashing water.
Did some 9 trials before I got this one..!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

There's a hint of Kerla in every part of Mangalore

Fishermen joining the old nets with the new ones.. Near Sultan Battery, Mangalore.

On my way to Tannir bavi beach.
To reach the place, one has to take a ferry service. It's a quick 5 min ride, with an intermediate stop in between!!

Enchanting view.

The train journey from Bangalore to Mangalore was a memorable one.. As This blog is reserved for Photography, I've written down my experiences in my personal blog.
