Fishermen of Fort Kochi, Kerala

Fort Kochi’s sea-face is more known for its Chinese Fishing Nets. But there is plenty of activity that goes on regularly around these nets. On the beach next to it, you usually sea fishermen throwing nets, standing on the shore. And near the the ferry station next to nets, motor-boats arrive with their catch of king-fish and squids that gets auctioned to a small gathering of buyers. The king-fish that this fisherman was holding was sold at Rs.800/kg.

Landscapes of Munnar – A Photography Workshop

This April, I will be leading a tour to learn photographing the landscapes of Munnar. Read on for more details.

Lush greenery dominates every inch of the rolling hills that surround the small town of Munnar. The emerald hues of neatly trimmed tea-estates and the thick jungles hugging the inclines go on forever, with clouds playing a game of light and shadow on the slopes. Perfectly still waters of the lakes and backwaters reflect the drama of the hills and clouds above. The tea estates, greenery, water bodies, waves of ridges reaching out to the sky, foggy sunrises and colourful sunsets are a treat to your eyes as well as for the camera.

munnarDarter Photography takes you to the Kannan Devan Hills, to learn how to photograph landscapes in a way that justice to the scenery unfolding in front you. This workshop will take you through the secrets of making great looking landscape images and help you unfold the perspectives of a landscape-artist through your camera. Join us in discovering the joy of capturing the beauty of Munnar’s landscapes and learn what goes behind making permanent imprints of the colours of the hills in your camera.
