Sunset at Vyppin
Posted by Anup (Bangalore, India) on 13 July 2007 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.
This was shot at Vyppin, Kerala, India
Vyppin is a famous tourist spot known for its fishing nets and churches.
What you see in this image is a Chinese fishing net.
I climbed on another fishing net to take this shot. Walking on the narrow rods with the camera and two lenses was an experience :-)
This is the last one in the sunrise-sunset series.

Lovely shot. Oh, the things we do to get the shots we want. I think that your climbing on another fishing net to take this shot was well worth it.

Anup, did you do any pp work to these shots? I love the golden tones to them they are so beautiful. I can just picture you out there on that net, worth it but glad you didn't lose any gear to get it! ha ha

I don't typically like sunset shots unless the photographer adds something else special to the shot as you did here! Excellent work!

In one word .... WOW!!! Love the colours of the sunset and the contrast
with this beautiful fishing net. Too bad this is the end of this series :(

this is a nice photo, wish you had composed the chinese fishing nets much towards the right corner and adding a tad bit of landscape on the left. at the moment this is dead in the center...hence looses the effect of panorama. good work...

@Babul Bhatt: Thanks for the feedback Babul. I think what you said would have been better.....

Sometimes photographers have to go the extra mile for that one special picture. I remember once I tried to stupidly cross a small stream.. there were stones but they were all so slippery due to the algae. So you guessed it right - I fell. Luckily I was able to keep my camera up. And the camera bag had enough padding to prevent the 70-300 I had from getting wet. I really don't know if I was lucky or unlucky. Anyhow, we should always be careful :)
