Stepping in to the Android world

I’m a bit late to enter the Android world but finally I decided to go for one. One of my main concerns of getting a phone was battery life. I just can’t charge the battery every day! I need it to last at least 2-3 days. All the Androids I know are extremely bad with the battery life, having said that no point of buying a small Android phone either.

So with some convincing finally bought an Android. The first issue I faced is the Google Account. I do have a Google Account with a non Gmail address so I tried to register with that, and it failed saying it doesn’t have Gmail. If Android wanted to make sure it has to have Gmail why didn’t they ask for a Gmail Account at the first place? *sigh*

Galle Photo Walk

We decided to go on a Photography tour at the Galle Fort on 26th March 2013. I’ve been there several times with larger groups and I know the area pretty well. This Dutch era fort is a big attraction in Galle and many foreign tourist visits this place.

An antique car and a Ghost

Let me stop there for a moment for a quick rant. I do admire the antiques a lot but the Ghost in the background just ruined the picture. This Ghost virus is now everywhere in Sri Lanka, if you go to Galle Face green on an evening you’ll see it’s entirely filled with these parasites, go to the streets and you’ll probably see a bunch of them.

Richmond Castle

An old house which is well over 100 years old built by the rich but now is public property. We decided to go on a photography tour on Sunday, 10th February 2013 to visit the Richmond Castle located at Kalutara. On the way we stopped at Panadra Bridge and the Calido beach which is mostly polluted.

Madu Ganga

Madu Ganga is located near Ambalangoda, since the opening of Southern Expressway the its much easy and fun to travel to down south. We went to Madu Ganga and Kotdoowa Island on 19th January 2013 for a photography tour.

Colombo Night Races – 2012

After a year Colombo Night Races held in the heart of the city on Saturday, 15th December 2012. The event was rather an exact replica of the event last year plus an annoying Tuk Tuk race. The main event everyone was expecting was the Super Car event which was easily won by Dilantha Malagamuwa in his Lamborghini.

Negombo Fish Market

Negombo Fish market would be a very busy place on a normal day. For capturing people it would be a nice place. We went there on 27th November 2012 and since it was a Holiday it wasn’t much crowded.
