This post has been long overdue. It's been almost a year since I took off towards the Konkan Coast on a semi-backpacking trip. I've been asked multiple times by different people about the lack of updates on my blog. Well, what can I say? My laziness had gotten the better of me, up until now, that is...
Anyway, without further ado, let me delve right into the details of the trip (or at least, what I can manage to remember of it).
Seascapes have always fascinated me. In a gallery full of pictures, I'll almost always end up picking a seascape as my favorite. How I wish I was staying in a sea-side town with regular access to the ocean - round the clock, through out the year. But having stayed all my life in a land-locked city, I felt I was being deprived of all the great seascape photography opportunity I was missing out on. And so, I decided to take a little trip along the western coastal line of India - The Konkan Coast.
Day 1 - Udupi - St.Mary's Island
Gear - Canon EOS 550D, Canon 10-22mm, Hoya ND400
After an overnight bus journey, I reached the temple town of Udupi in the morning. Checked into a hotel and after the daily ablutions, left for St.Mary's Island.
The island is 6kms from the mainland. Regular ferry services ply from the Malpe fishing harbor to the island.

I would have loved to get shots of the sunset from this place. But, unfortunately, the ferry services don't run that late in the day and there's no place to stay on the island. Such a shame ...
