“It all begins with the idea to find silence and serenity in myself when I spend time in nature and feel its authenticity. For me, it is not only about getting the perfect picture of an animal or a bird, but more about capturing the uniquely intense mood or feeling that I only experience in wild nature.”
I also speak at events like the TEDx Hyderabad event & my talks usually revolve around photography, my journey as a photographer and anecdotes from the field which have taught me valuable life lessons.
Listen to my talk.

Indian Wolf, Kadbanwadi Grasslands, Satara
The Endangered Indian Wolf (Canis lupus pallipes/ Canis indica) is a subspecies of Grey Wolf & one of their most endangered populations in the world. Travelling in smaller packs and less vocal than other variants it has a reputation for being cunning. There are approximately 400-1,100 wolves living in the Himalayan Region and 4,000-6,000 wolves in the Peninsular Region. The Peninsular Region wolves are mostly found in agropastoral areas that have less forest density.
The Indian plains wolf (Canis lupus pallipes, synonym Canis indica) is formed by 2 closely related female lineage mitochondrial DNA (mDNA) haplotypes that fall within the Canis lupus pallipes subspecies of the gray wolf. It is only found in the arid and semi-arid peninsular plains of India. These lineages are genetically unique from all other wolves worldwide.
Milky Way & Meteors - Nirmal
In the last week of February, in collaboration with HyTiCos, I had the opportunity to explore some dark sky areas in Nirmal district. At 18 minutes past midnight we also saw and photographed a brilliant meteor which lit up the sky. In total 9 separate meteors were captured which I have composited into a single image with the Milky Way and shared on my Gallery and in the Blog linked below.

Star Trails - Nirmal
Continuing from last week, today is about photographing Star Trails at Nirmal. I explored some dark sky sites at Nirmal, in collaboration with HyTiCos, which could be leveraged for star gazing and astro photography. This location has spectacular naked eye visibility of some of the major constellations and is a prime location for Star Trails photography.
