OOTY(BEAUTY) FLOWER SHOW

Photography is my passion and I would say, Wow what a start to it, after seeing this place.

Ooty also known as Udhagamandalam is the "Queen of hill stations" and the capital of Nilgiris district, Tamilnadu. The first time I went there and guess what, flower show started the same day. This was just a mere coincidence and I thought ,come on,lets start photography life on a high. Woke up early that day,usually I don't ,during my holidays,in fact I have never seen 8 am at all in my hols. I went with my newly bought camera to "Botanical Garden" ,the place where this flower show is being held and started clicking.
After seeing the number of people at the gate, i thought it was early only for me not for the crowd there. The gate was already filled with thousands of people, all around the world,and many more rushing . Policemen were doing a great job in preventing any kinds of pushing or fighting.

I bought a ticket and entered through the green arch and was amazed to see the different colors of flowers which i would have never thought they existed. This made me think that all the colors came into existence only after these flowers' colors. I don't want to tell things from here on. Just watch.
If the pics are not clear just click on them and see an enlarged view.










What you have seen here is very less when compared to what you would have seen there. I tried my level best to fit everything into my camera but there were way too many problems which I had to face during this photo session. One of the main problem was the crowd. When ever I think, wow I have to take that beautiful pic , take my camera and see through the lenses, there is only very small time for this process to take place and in that split second that place will be filled with crowd posing for photos and I had to wait. Secondly, it was the sunshine that was on the flowers which gave a reflection in the pics and making the flowers not clear. Anyway this is just the beginning and I hope to come up with more and more beautiful pics.
I need everybody who reads this blog to give your valuable tips and help me in improving.
