Photos from Ponnani Beach - Kerala

I have travelled to Ponani beach 2 times now & I find this place very interesting - because of the various opportunities that I see as a photographer... I see 3 different zones in Ponanni ... One is a fishing zone , where you can find fishermen , fishes boats & a lot of Raptors along with them......the latter being my interest. Spending some time in this zone with a good Camera - Lens & a Tripod can give good shots of some common Raptors.. I feel this is a good place to learn shooting birds at Flight , during my visit I did not find much time to do a lo - but I think I got a few shots that I wish to share here - I am hoping to process them & share after a few Days.
Zone two is the beach zone , where you can find a nice spot to watch the sea & the never ending waves & for sure you can view a Good sunset from here.
Shooting sunsets will require some good Tripod & patience to wait for the colors - getting good colors may require visiting the spot for many days..
Zone 3 , is a zone with rocks & a pathway of rocks built for arresting the large waves... here you can find some animals like the mongoose - lots of Crabs , snakes & you can find some Dolphins swimming if you are lucky... Spending time here is easy & there are lots of oppurtunities for photographers & nature lovers. If you want some adventure - then you can talk to the local fishermen & ask them to take you for a good boat ride into the sea.. We were 3-4 of us & we managed to go for a 3 Hour ride using a small fisherman boat into the sea - to an extent where we lost all traces of land... it was a good experience overall. I would suggest this place for people who are visiting Kerala.
