Trip to foot hills of Western Ghats

Last week I spent a few days at a remote village near Karnataka-Kerala border which happens to be in foot hills of Western Ghats. Weather was just perfect. Just after monsoon rains the place was ideal for macro photography. I have seen variety of butterflies, damselflies among other beauties of our natural world. I have visited this beautiful place for a few times now (happens to be my in-laws house) and noticed a group of bats everyday crossing a small hillock about half an hour after sunset. This time I tried to make a few images of bats flying at night. It was a very challenging task and I am not very satisfied with images I made. However it was a great learning for me. May be I will have opportunities in future to use those valuable learnings.

I really enjoyed doing some macro work however. This time I consciously tried to explore different creative possibilities in macro photography. Just completed processing and uploading (about 28 images so far, a few more to go). All those images can be found in my New Images Gallery.
