This is from my second trip to the Andaman & Nicobar Islands – specifically Havelock and Port Blair. This is one of those places I could back to repeatedly without even so much as a thought of getting bored. Lovely place, beautiful scenes and good food if you know where to go.
That is the only panorama image I could manage from the photographs I shot when I was traveling to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Clicking on it will take you to it’s Flickr page and you can see the larger version as well.

Elephant beach on Havelock Island – good beach for viewing coral reefs. Before the Tsunami, the preferred location for viewing coral reefs was Jolly Buoy Island – but that’s gone underwater now. |
These photographs were all shot on film on my Fuji SLR and the negatives were scanned and developed at a local photography studio in Bombay.

Thanks Mittal, Aafreen and Angad.
Jan 25, 2009, 5:30 amThe display layout took some time to tweak – I wasn’t happy with what the theme presented by default – and cross-browser compatibility was a bitch too. It seems to have worked out fine for now.

Hi Naina,
Jan 25, 2009, 10:34 pmGreat work –
on an average, what is the effort of post production on each of these photos?
Naina says:
Not much on these – these were shot on film and the sizes developed by the photography / development studio weren’t too workable on Photoshop lest the quality of the image deteriorate – I might have spent about seven minutes on each shot.
