  • While making this image, I was drawn to the structure of these wonderful bare trees. What caught my attention was just the variety of shapes and hues of these bare tree. <br />
<br />
This image was made just outside Derwentwater in the Lake District.
    Bare Trees, Late Autumn
  • This image was made in the general vicinity that William Wordsworth lived. It’s hardly surprising that so much of Wordsworth’s poetry is steeped in his deep love of nature !<br />
<br />
As the forecast had called for rain showers through most of the day, I wasn’t really expecting to do much photography this autumn morning. Nonetheless, I decided to drive down towards the lakes just to be amidst nature before the rains came down.<br />
<br />
When this scene presented itself, I had to stop and make an image - neither the gusty winds nor the slight drizzle were going to deter me ! I took some time to find the right composition that accentuated the squiggly branches on the foreground tree while also providing some separation from the background tree covered with bright autumn foliage. This pause also allowed me to find just the right moment when the wind subsided to render all the branches in sharp focus. <br />
<br />
I have been excited to process and print this photograph ever since I clicked the shutter on this scene. I’m thrilled with the way the print has shaped up.
    Autumn Poem
  • Yosemite National Park, California
    Melting Snow, Tenaya Lake
  • I enjoy making photographs in the bayou as here, time appears to have stood still even as Spanish Moss envelopes giant cypress trees !! The juxtaposition of soft green moss and tan colored autumn foliage provided a compelling subject matter. The placid waters of the bayou unified the scene to underscore the feeling of calm I experienced while making this image.
    Cypress Magic
  • While I have a general area of interest when I’m out making photographs, I tend to be spontaneous and flexible about the specific subject matter. The morning when I made this image was no different. <br />
<br />
I was hiking towards a stone quarry with the aim of making abstract photographs. However, the area was in and out of rain showers. It was during this window that I came upon this lone tree with its bright autumn foliage being softly illuminated by low angled light. As the sun was also coming in and out of a thick cloud cover, I had to find a quick vantage point. I chose the dry stone to lead the viewer into the photograph.
    Lone Tree, Dry Stone Wall
  • I find a walk in the woods to be a therapeutic exercise. The sights, scents and sounds of the woods rejuvenate my mind and soul. <br />
<br />
On this day, I had gone deep into the woods. After a couple of hours making images in other parts of the woods, I stumbled upon this section. The light cast a soft afterglow in the forest, while the low angled light created a warm canvas over the distant hills. I used the fallen foreground trees to provide depth to the composition.
    Deep In The Woods
  • Tree of Life
  • After a short hike on an unmarked path, I came upon this bare tree growing on a rocky outcrop. Despite the difficulty of growing over a raised rocky bed, this tree seemed to be reaching upto the skies.
    Reaching For The Skies
  • Te Anau Jetty
  • When I was exploring the Derwentwater area, I came upon a wonderful section of woodlands. The area was ripe to exercise my creative juices by the sheer variety of shapes, textures, and colors. <br />
<br />
I was captivated by the outstretched branches of this magnificent mossy, bare tree. The colored understory provided a warm canvas to showcase the sprawl.
    Outstretched
  • The woods surrounding Derwentwater are truly wonderful to explore. The quiet lifestyle of the English countryside provides the perfect playground to commune with nature.<br />
<br />
While making this image, I was drawn to the overlapping trunks and twigs of these mossy trees. The low angled light seemed to provide a soft afterglow to the mossy trees.
    Crisscrossed
  • Most of my photographs are made with a tripod as that allows me to slow down. <br />
<br />
This photograph is an exception as we went canoeing through the bayou! This was an incredible way to experience the bayou as it allowed me to get deep into otherwise inaccessible parts of the bayou. Here, all that I heard was the bird whistles and spanish moss ruffling in the wind from grand cypress trees.
    Heart of the Bayou
  • Torres del Paine National Park, Chile
    Untamed
  • Readying for a sunrise photo shoot can be an exhilarating experience. One is unsure if the weather gods are going to be kind for photography, not to mention the sheer difficulty of making meaningful compositions in the dark ! <br />
The morning when I set out to photograph Sparks Lake was no different. I was captivated by the mist rising from the placid lake floor and the mountains provided an idyllic backdrop. As the first light of day illuminated the lake, I looked to highlight the sense of calm that I felt while making the photograph.
    Sparks Lake Sunrise
  • My photo trips to the Eastern Sierra often entail a stop at Mono Lake as I look to make photographs of the remarkable tufas that dot its southern shores. On this summer morning, a spattering of clouds over the lake made for opportunities of dramatic light.<br />
<br />
As the first light of day struck the lake shores, it appeared to spotlight the tufas and turn them into a castle of gold. The mirror-like lake surface acted as a perfect reflection pool for the clouds clearing in the distance.
    Golden Castle
  • I'm amazed by how vast and tranquil Lake Tahoe is. While making this image, I was able to catch the last light of day reflected in the still waters of the lake.
    Bonsai Rock
  • I was excited about the prospect of a promising photograph as soon as I came upon this bare tree growing out of Derwentwater.  <br />
<br />
Even though stormy conditions had enveloped the region, the lake was calm that morning. As I reflected upon my composition, it became apparent that a monochrome rendition would accentuate the submerged tree’s bare form and I used the lake’s placid water as a blank canvas for the photograph. <br />
<br />
Once I started working on the image, it was gratifying to find the photograph conveyed the deep sense of calm and reflection I experienced that morning.
