Absolute tranquility and most of your pics are awesome. But some of your skies are getting posterising effect. Are you doing it intentionally?

Not intentional, the quality is getting deteriorated after compressing it to 1mb limit. original files are 25mb+.

Unfortunately, we couldn't click much as we were forced to be indoors both days due to incessant rain. Had taken the overnight stay at Kochupampa KSEB quarters. Even during the journey, the vision were mostly blinded by the pounding rains. But the thrill remains. Would share few from the trip.

This was our view like for most of 2 days..being pounded


Another companion for the trip - unending mist


Rain cleared out for brief time when we reached Gavi around 5PM. Saw this pristine feel



Kochupampa 'town' at night We were walking around the KSEB mess as the cook there was preparing chicken dishes. Seeing us wander around at night like this, he called out like "you guys have so much bravery..look at the front door where a tusker tested his strength yesterday night"

Few km before reaching gavi suddenly a Malabar giant squirrel crossed our way. stopped storme, searching for the lens, unfortunately could not find the 52-200mm lens, it was in the pouch, he clamed on the tree and just posing for us, fixed the 200mm lens and clicked.

That is quite large. Assuming you shooting RAW on a DSLR, 25Mb is still on the higher side but very much possible with a high MP sensor. Which Camera and lens used ?

What is the workflow, I mean the post-processing software and all. The images look excessively over-sharpened.

[anil_ksp]

manojodungat,

Yes, the file format is RAW. I am using Nikon 3300, lens 18-55 and 55-200mm. I am using View NX2 software to edit and convert it to JPG file.

Beautiful Travelogue. Congrats Anil.
Gavi is at Pathanamthitta District, how I missed this place? Wish to visit this place in the next schedule. Attaching one photo published in Manorama Newspaper about Gavi on yesterday. [Photo credits to Manorama]. The article highlights to take security measures due to increasing number of wild animals.

Thank you so much for sharing.

Mathew, I am not surprised to see this news. The forest is so dense and dark. As I mentioned in my travelogue we were the first entered in the forest. If I was alone I would not have continued that trip. The ambience was so wild. You can really feel the forest wildness of the forest really. I was expecting a leopard or an elephant at each and every corner of the road. Due to the permit issue we were forced to go at the 19th position.
