A red car, a Maruti Suzuki Swift, had driven on to the beach and was parked facing the sea. The sky had taken on a pink colour. The tyre marks were visible on the wet sand.  I composed the shot with the car on the bottom left side of the frame. It perhaps looks like a shot from a TV commercial.

Happy Vishu to al my Malayali friends!

This is one more shot from Kalamb Beach. I was not there on a weekend. The place was not crowded with revellers. So I was able to keep people out of the image.

Technical Data

The depth of field is shallow because I used an aperture of f/1.8. I focused on the car. The  sea and sky in the background have a soft look. Exposure time was 1/1250 sec. The lens was Canon 50mm f/1.8.

The setting sun turned  the sky red at the horizon. The colours of sky were reflected on the waters. The dreamy atmosphere was enhanced by the silhouettes near the waterline on the beach.

Kalamb Beach is near Nallasopara town in Maharashtra. It is a wide and unpolluted beach. Bikes and cars are often seen on the beach at low tide.

Camera Data

The camera is Canon EOS 550D. Lens is Canon prime lens 50mm f/1.8-23. It was used at an aperture of f/8.0. Exposure time was 1/50 sec.

The old wooden boat seemed abandoned on the beach. It was colourful but was sorely in need of a coat of paint. There was a glow in the sky at sunset. I composed the frame with the boat in the lower foreground. In the background is the beach and sky.

This is Kalamb Beach in Maharashtra. It is to the west of Nallasopara town. The beach is wide and mostly deserted. The sea comes in at high tide as the sea is not deep near the beach.

Camera Data

The lens on my Canon EOS 550D camera was EF50mm f/1.8 II. The aperture was at its widest setting of f/1.8 so that the depth of field was limited. Exposure time was 1/1000sec.
