Sri Lanka vs. Kerala (Jan/Feb).
I am looking for reasons to visit Sri Lanka as opposed to Kerala, India (in late January/February). My main interest lies in landscape photography, natural viewpoints/vistas, and inexpensive, quality local food. I am looking for pleasant weather as well, that's why I picked Sri Lanka/India (in winter time).
From my research, there's not that many amazing pictures from Sri Lanka. Do you know how beautiful the country is post-tsunami?
Thanks
I might not be able to photograph it very well, but just looking at the scenery amazes me every time I go.
Rod.
I'm a photographer and both places are good.
Sri Lanka has a touch more diversity than Kerala I find, in terms of good views - you can get from jungle to montane forest to semi-desert within a day.
Light, as ever in South Asia, is difficult to work with; mornings and evenings work best.
Check out [Three Blind Men]http://pa.photoshelter.com/c/threeblindmen/gallery-list] for some Sri Lanka photography. Good stuff by good photographers.
Food is awesome in Lanka - lots of curries (meat/fish/vegetable) and rice; pastries from snack shops (try the Malupaan - Fish buns); desserts (Watalappan is a cinnamony-coconutty pudding - very filling!). Also, if you've been to the bars, try the Lion Lager - they even have a Stout version - and then head home via a Kottu Rotty shop. It's chopped rotty bread and meat and vegetables all mixed into one.
Might have to fly out there soon just for the food...
Hi, there really is no difference in the lovelyness of this island 'post-tsunami'. I took some pictures on the days following the Tsunami just to remember that lovelyness exists.
you could also try the following link. it will lead you to a range of topics via the individual photographer's sites. All most all are Sri Lankan amatures.( how ever you spell that word!!)
