Don’t these fireflies look like the symbol of eternity, a snake biting its own tail? When in Coorg, we were surrounded by millions of luminous fireflies. I moved my camera in circles to get this unique effect. Nikon D750 +…

Ripples
Don’t the multiple textures in the frame give it a 3D look? I really like how the reflection of the trees turned out. While experimenting with reflections on a lake, I spotted this pair of palm trees. With tight framing,…
Submerged
These are the Sharavathi Backwaters, that have been created due to the construction of many new dams in the area. This development caused thousands of trees to be drowned, with countless animals being killed in the process. DJI Mini 3
A Motif
I really like the various “curves” in the image. The mist-covered background makes the image look cinematic, while enveloping the surroundings with suspense. When exploring a hanging bridge near Nittur, we spotted many (artistic) dried-up trees like this one that…
Flow
When out in our backyard in my native Sringeri, I tried some new creative techniques. This image was taken using a technique called Intentional Camera Movement. I intentionally panned my camera towards a direction to get this unique effect. I…
Ancient Structures
Can you guess what this is? I got this unique image of a spider web in my native, Sringeri. This web was backlit, and I went really close to it to get this effect. I got these special patterns while…
Tough Terrain
Doesn’t this image have a very tranquil yet dramatic feel? I like the multiple textures and gradients in the image. While trekking to “The Valley of Flowers” in Uttarakhand, India, we could see many sensational sights like this. I like…
The Eye
While out exploring our relative’s garden in my native Sringeri, we spotted this calm Green Vine Snake. I experimented with foreground blur while trying new ways to shoot this serpent, so I included many out-of-focus leaves in the picture. I…
Get a hold
This is a Giant wood spider (Nephila), on a cloudy winter morning in my native, Sringeri. If you look closely, you can see thousands of dew drops on this delicate web. I love how the barren trees complement this frame.…
Autograph
When my father and I were casually strolling around a park looking for subjects, I suddenly spotted this artistic shape made by a caterpillar. I experimented with including different types of leaves in the other parts of the image, and…
Stuck
While I was traveling by bus during the monsoon season in the Western Ghats of India, I spotted a horsefly stuck on a window. This window had some designs that added to the composition of the picture. I got some…
The Hidden Peak
I took this image while on a moving bus in Uttarakhand, India. When we traveled on the scenic roads of Uttarakhand during the mesmerizing monsoon, we could see many peaks with fog surrounding them. I tried to snap pictures of…
Blue, Black, White
What do you think the blue glow behind this spider is? Whatever you guessed was probably wrong. It is a very bold, blue, building. This is a backlit signature spider inside another park near my home. Since this was a…
Ancient
I found this artistic dried bush in the middle of a trek to Gudibande fort. Yes, I did add the noise (grain) and the slight yellowish tint (sepia) to make this image look old. I tried to recreate the look…
Watercolours
This looks like a fuzzy dream, doesn’t it? I found this Signature spider with a wrapped prey on a field visit during the Saaliga Spider Workshop 2023. I tried composing this image with nothing in focus, to achieve this eye-catching…
Divided
This housefly was sitting still for a long time. A very long time. Are you asking me the question “Why”? This is a natural behavior exhibited by houseflies, just after the sun rises. This habit warms their wings up and…
Abstract
What do you think this is? This is the out-of-focus image of water droplets on my grandfather’s car window! This lovely image was captured when we had set off in search of subjects in the flooded streets of Sringeri (In…
The Special Spider
Isn’t it so interesting that a spider can live in sooo many places? This was one of the first times, I had seen a spider, on a yellow board made of bricks! On one of our regular safaris to parks,…
A Tear
A salty tear… Running down a window… Wait, what? A window? Yeah, a window. It was a grim cloudy evening in my native, Sringeri when we decided to set out in my grandfather’s car (and my camera, of course!) to…
