The Chill

Not long ago, I had some really good friends of mine, Chavie and Inosh come over. Since our mid term exams and all, had finished, we really needed a break. The break was not a big one, so we decided to make the best of it. 

We did our usual trip to the beach that evening. I'm telling you, the Palliyawatta beach is getting better by the day. It's more like a big carnival now. Lots of junk food, music and what not? It's becoming more crowded each day. The setting is perfect for a good evening hang out. I would say without a doubt, it's better than many other beaches found around Colombo. The ambiance here is perfect.

With my new gadget in hand, I was able to take some neat pictures.


Here is a picture of the beach. This was taken from the pier like thing built into the sea.



This is one of the best sunsets I've come a cross. The colors, the sky, Perfect :)


This picture was taken with about 20X zoom. If you look closely, you'll be able to see a ship.


The moon showed up when we were about to leave. It was really gorgeous. The colors were very contrasting.

I'd say it was a perfect day. It couldn't have got better. Although I still wish my friends Yujith and Heshan joined us that day. Looking forward for the next time I'll get to chill out at the beach.

Hope you enjoyed the post,
Cheers!

Ira Handa

I have been blessed with a camera with super optical zoom. I don't understand as to why I got this. I usually never get stuff I want. All ways get stuff I don't want . I have been experimenting with this fine piece of work for some time now. The only issue with this camera is that the slowest shutter speed is 4 seconds. So for long exposures, this is not the best. Although I all ways try to crank up the iso and get the maximum of the awesome gadget.

Not long ago, I tried taking a few pictures, I guess I ended up with a few neat shots. 


If you look closely, the craters of the moon (Handa) are visible in great detail. The shadows are also really prominent.



This I took when Chavie and some other good friends of mine came over. This was taken at the Palliyawatta beach in Hendala. The setting sun(Ira) looked really cool through the massive 26x zoom lens.

I have more really cool pictures of this trip. I'll save them for the next few posts. 

I hope you enjoyed the post.

Cheers!
