Ettina Bhuja
Category: Nature 'n Landscapes

Sharing some more shots from our trek to Ettina Bhuja:

Almost halfway to the peak, we were at a grass land wading through shoulder-high thick grass. This valley offered us a good look at the vertical rock face of Ettina Bhuja, right ahead of us. The trail to the top of the peak goes around its rim, before going up from the slanting side.

I carried only the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L wide angle zoom lens for the trek and this shot is taken at its widest focal length. I used A-Dep mode for this shot @ ISO-200 and the camera returned f/9 with a 1/50s exposure.

We were helped with very good climate at the top of the peak, next day morning. The blue sky had, just the right amount of white clouds. The sunshine was also just the way it should be - not too bright and not too dull. This pic is, once again, shot with the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L wide angle zoom lens at its widest focal length, in A-Dep mode, ISO-100 for a f/6.3 and 1/800s exposure.

Here is an up close shot of the Ettina Bhuja peak, from its slopes, taken on our way down. This pic also comes from the 16-35mm lens, at its widest focal length, ISO-100, f/4 and 1/1600s exposure, as chosen by the A-Dep mode. The peak visible on the left side of Ettina Bhuja is Amedikallu, our next target!

Good Shots. You seem to be making maximum use of that wide angle. :)

 

First shot is very nicely composed. The Grass in the foreground lends a nice perspective to the picture.

The first image somehow reminds me of a reclining lion with his face up in the sky!

Wow, fantastic place...
Grass foreground & Sky background ..Really GR8.
In my homeland, I used to use these grasses for dry flower arrangement. Will be intact for 2yrs.
Have a nice weekend !

Ripudaman: The wide angle is the only L lens I can carry for treks. The rest are heavy and need tripod inside the jungle where the light is less (due to higher focal lengths). Hence the wide angle is usually with me all the time :)

Dhanush: Yes, the sky was very blue and beautiful. I have to confess that I increased the saturation a li'l bit in the picture :)

Mohkum: Yup ... it was a beautiful place to be with breathtaking views and wondeful climate to go with it!

Mridula: The local imagination is that its the shoulder of a bull - hence the name Ettina Bhuja meaning the same in Kannada :)

Rocksea: Thank you

Aarathi: Yup, I guess they stay long. Thnx

Dominic: Thanks and u r always welcome here :)

Rajesh: Its a beautiful place, accessible only via foot. Check my trip log for details

Joshi: Thnx joshi

Prashanth: U r welcome for the next one :)

Chandrika: Thank you

Rakesh: Thnx Rakesh

Marie: Merci beaucoup

Monish: Thnx Monish and welcome to my blog

Arun: The light wasnt dramatic, but just enough for photography. And yes ... its a gr8 place to visit

Shyama: The sky was as blue in real ... but I had to bump up the saturation in the picture :)
