It has been quite a phenomenon for me, to visit Cauvery River banks from KRS to Srirangapatna, whenever I find some leisure. This time, I noticed some people watching and shooting birds at this canal. I followed the route upto Ranganathittu and found the same to be lucrative for me. In the subsequent visits, I went with my equipments and shot as much as I could- in the time span of an hour or two.
The Canal originates from the river at Balamuri. I am not interested in shooting at Balamuri for some reasons. The next place is a temple dedicated to Lord Narasimha & Lord Shreenivasa, which has been built in Odisha style. The temple is situated at the banks of river Cauvery. The place is quite serene compared to Balamuri and I just use to throng by. From here on, I moved along with the mud road, besides the Canal.
The road leads the eye to the temple and the trees frame the same.
Shooting temples and other monuments has been a delight for me- with the bold Blues of sky.
The yellow of the soil balances with the bright blue of the sky, while the white clouds contradicts with the shadow of the Gate.
This custom bridge leads to one Ashram in the Island formed amidst the river.
From here on the Drama starts... Lush green paddyfields, reflections in the water.....
Heaps and loads of reflections, what to shoot & what not?
I just kept pressing the shutter button.
There is a farm house surrounded by coconut trees. I moved there and shot a lot of pics.
The road leads to Karekura [ leftwards].
Here I have tried White balance masking -1.
White balance masking -2.
In the future I have plans to explore more of this area, before Monsoon.
