Calligraphy
Scribbles of light in the dark – these fireflies were really putting up a show in an enigmatic forest in Coorg. It was mesmerising to see the millions of them move about in the darkness. Nikon D750 + Nikkor 50mm…

Eternity
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 +…

Gridlines
Doesn’t the dual-tone palette of the image make it look very distinct? The early morning winter mist is truly magical. It’s glistening appearance blankets everything. Just when I was composing this shot, the sun appeared from behind the clouds, backlighting…
Azure
The misty banks of the Sharavati Backwaters hold many surprises. One of them are the creative spots spiders find for themselves. I found this dew-laden web inside a hole on an azure boat. I like how the composition turned out,…
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,…
Tranquility
This image has a very unique feeling of peace. The various cool tones of the image complement the colour of the roof. During a drive in the western ghats, we saw this picturesque lake (almost) in the middle of nowhere.…
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…
Peak
I feel like the spider looks like it is on the top of the world. The monochrome adds a lot of depth to the image. We spotted this backlit Ant Mimicking Spider on a palm leaf during a cloudy winter…
Divine Dwelling
Doesn’t the curve of the egrets body perfectly complement the temple’s architecture? When visiting the ancient Belur temple, we spotted various birds on the roof. It was mid afternoon, so I got the perfect light for this shot. Nikon D750…
Escape
Doesn’t it look like the crow is rapidly escaping from something? It’s probably just a quintessential morning for it. I decided to try something new with some typical subjects, such as crows and black kites. So, I started panning through…
Cornered
Don’t the trees on the island have the shape of the turtle? I also feel like the tip of the island looks like the head of a wolf. On the Sharavathi Backwaters, there are many barges ferrying people and vehicles…
Holy Walk
When walking around the serene Kumbh Mela, I spotted numerous Egrets in the many rivers. It looked like it was taking the “Holy Walk” in the Yamuna. I tried photographing this particular one while on a Pontoon bridge. The sunset…
Amidst the Landfill 2
When commuting to school, I spot these egrets amidst a landfill every day. Sometimes, these egrets come close to the road, trying to find a meal for themselves. When trying to photograph them creatively, I realized that I could capture…
Diagonals
When exploring our relative’s field in my native, Sringeri, I spotted many spiderwebs adorned with dew drops. Some of these webs were on a blue fence. The droplets on the web were glowing when the sun lit them early in…
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…
