Indiahikes August 2022 Photo Contest - Open To All

We are back with the August edition of the Indiahikes Photo Contest, which is open to all. You're welcome to participate no matter which part of the country you are in. You're welcome to share pictures from your Indiahikes treks or treks you have done on your own.

The theme for this month's open photo contest is Contrast

When we think of striking contrasts, our mind immediately goes to photographs where the photographer has played with textures, highlights, shadows, colors, clarity.

A strikingly colourful sunset or a stark silhouette against a snow-clad mountain. It could be a macro shot of a soft flower against a thorny bush. It could be a terrific play of light and shade.

Composing such shots is not easy. Timing is everything! Being at the right place at the right time, with a little bit of luck. Or it could be purely your skill as a photographer and masterful editing. That’s why, with this month's theme, we want to see how good you are at your art!

Here are the kind of photos we are looking for:
