My Ginger Bread House
Well brick and mortar to be perfectly honest. But it is in the middle of a small forest. I am currently staying in Lovedale, approximately 5-6 kms from Ooty. Lovedale does not share the same semi urban landscape as Ooty. While the road to my house (rented not owned) is fairly straightforward, anyone without a good sense of direction and/or good navigational skills might as well carry pebbles to mark the route (We all know what happened when bread crumbs were used).
This photograph was taken late evening with a fairly long shutter speed. Four seconds if I remember correctly. The attempt at light painting the car failed more because the LED flash-light I have is not so powerful than the for the length of the exposure. I could have painted for a longer time had I kept the shutter open for more than 4 seconds but I would have ended up burning the light coming from the windows. So note to self. Buy a better flash-light.
What is missing in the picture is my bike. I finally received it yesterday and am having an absolute blast riding through the mountain roads. Sure I cannot open up the throttle completely on account of narrow roads with wicked twists but the world suddenly starts looking different through the visor of the helmet. I still have to get it all cleaned up and shiny and once that is done, expect photographs.
