Ruins of Hampi Revisted

We had a very nice long weekend experience during  August 14th and August 15 2009. First me and Anoop visited the Daroji Sloth Bear Sanctuary and we thought of visiting the Hampi to capture some monuments in the early morning “Golden Light”. But to our luck it turned out to be an overcast morning and there was no sign of  “Golden Light”. This place is a Mecca of tourists.

We thought initially we will shoot there for couple of hours and head back to the guest house and do something else. The 2 hours turned out to be 12 hours and we forgot that we did not had breakfast or lunch. We just stayed on with Bananas and water. But it was all worth it. We started walking along the banks of river Thungabhadra, clicking whatever creates interest.

Below are some sample photos, more can be seen in video, and on my flickr page.

For the first time I experimented with HDR. Some have turned out to be good and some or so-so.

One day is definitely not enough to cover Hampi. I am not sure how and why we thought 2-3 hours was enough .

Here is  the video slide show of the photos from Hampi. Enjoy and please leave comments.

Will write in detail about the experiences with Daroji Bear Sanctuary
