Sunrise Explorations!

I love waking up to shoot Sunrises at places i haven't been to and where nature is at its best. Waking up is the toughest part. But my friend Namita who shares the same interest accompanies me and she gets to be the model for my pictures :D

Swiss Chalets

A Swiss Chalet is a type of wooden house in Alpine regions of Europe with a sloping roof. These are some of the chalets in  Furi where we stayed for 3 days.

Location : Furi, Zermatt, Switzerland

This was the chalet we stayed in

Try to hold it, you lose it

Smoke Photography : From some years back with my point and shoot. Used night sky as the background, dhoop sticks for the smoke and clicked with the camera flash..Had to do a lot of trial and error but it was worth the effort. The unpredictability factor adds to the fun. You don't know how your click is going to look like. And you are surprised at every click - either pleasantly or otherwise and then you make your own interpretations of what form the smoke took in your click.:D Nice fun!

Lago Maggiore : One place - so many avatars!

Location : Lago Maggiore, Switzerland
We stayed here 3 continuous days and not 1 day looked like the another..This is a proof that God loves continuous change and innovation! :D

Day 1 :

On the 1st day..This is around 8-8.30pm in the evening if i remember correctly

Night 1 :

These two roughly around 10 at night

 
Day 2 :

At 7 o'clock the next morning

 Day 3 : A very cloudy day..Slight drizzles

12.30pm ..slightly different location but basically the same place

 Night 3 : Clouds had taken over entirely..I could sit here forever watching the show of lights, water and the amazing weather..sighh! :)

Self portraits with some funky lighting

With an idea of a light setup and no one to shoot..I landed up shooting some self portraits. Light sources -  a 500W bulb from behind me, a mirror to my right and a home made reflector in front of me.

I survived the Darkness!

Tarkarli Land n' Skyscapes

Tarkarli is a beautiful beach on the southern end of Maharashtra. It is located at a distance of 7kms from Malvan, Maharashtra. The village is a tiny strip of land with the beach on one side and Tarkarli backwaters on the other. With the pure air, lovely food and the sound of waves..had a perfect vacation shoot here.
