Title: Its Raining.

Discription: I and my friend were going to Nainital that day on bike and it started raining. We have not other choice other then to wait for the rain to stop, under a tree by the side of road. Then this KMOU Bus arrived and I had my P&S(my beginner digital camera) with me. Don't know much about photography then, just in initial phase of learning the meanings of aperture, f-stops and shutter speed.

Exif: must have been shot in Manual mode. rest could not remember.

Entry No. 1

Title : Rainbow
Camera : Samsung Mobile S3310 (2mp)
Place: Sulthan Battery, Mangalore
Exif : NA

During the early monsoon rains me and my friend were crossing a river to tannerbavi beach. We had fun in beach and clicked some of the snaps in our tiny 2mp cell phone camera. It was drizzling on our way back and the rainbow popped up for almost 3-4 minutes. We guys dint loose hope but clicked some snaps of rainbow in which this one has come out good. Lesson learnt was to be patient while clicking, it will surly come out good.
