Sunrise in the woods

I woke up early than usual for this shot, while on my trip to Shimoga and realized that the day brightens up slower in the forest. I spent most of the time by the riverside shooting mist before sunrise. As it got bright enough to see the forest paths, I moved into the denser woods to capture the early morning sun gleaming. The jungle was brought back to life from the cold night by the early sunlight cutting through the woods, lighting up wilderness with a warm glow.

Last week I tripped to Sharavathi Wildlife Sanctuary situated in Shimoga district of Karnataka, with the help of Sharavathi Nature Trails, a non-profit Registered organization working on nature conservation. This is one place still untouched by the commercial tourism and you can get the real feel of nature here.

As a part of the trip, we camped near Sharavathi backwaters which lodges evergreen to semi-evergreen forests. Above is a view of the forest and its reflection shot across the Sharavathi backwater.

Moonrise at Lonavala

There is something haunting in the light of the moon; it has all the dispassionateness of a disembodied soul, and something of its inconceivable mystery. ~Joseph Conrad

Sunset is probably one of the best time to get engaged in landscape photography. The light is even, less harsh and helps capture rich colors in general. The play of light is phenomenal between full round sun heading to horizon and sunset as the tone move from the warm yellow to cool blue. And this transition happens pretty fast. Also, there would be enough ambient light just after sunset for a while when color blue intensifies.

Above is a picture taken at that moment from the Tiger Hill in Lonavala.


River of gold

Lonavala

This is another picture that came out well during my Lonavala visit, shot well before sunset from the Tiger Point.

The golden light from the sun filtered through the fog created a warm glow making this a rich scene, turning the mountain in the foreground into a silhouette. A small river winding through the mountain ranges, reflecting off the sun light, adds a golden 'twist' to the scene.
