Backwaters

These shots were taken around dawn (except the first one, which was at sundown), from various points around the shore of Micheal's Land, a resort belonging to the Kondo Syokai group. It's a fifteen- maybe twenty-minute-drive from Fort Cochin.
























These chaps paused as they were about to pass each other and stopped to chat. P'raps they were talking about where the fish were biting. Or maybe it was about the evening's toddy-drinking plans.














So pleased with this one. Sprinted—well, okay, stumbled and huffed and panted and lumbered—along the bank to get to the spot where the fisherman would be in the ripples lit by the rising sun, found flat spot to place camera in lieu of tripod, got the shutter speed just right, and after five shots, he obligingly bent over to haul in his net just as the shutter opened. All at 10x zoom. *chortle, chortle*
