“You don’t take a photograph. You make it.” – Ansel Adams

True to Ansel’s words, all the photographs below have been made with talent and a good eye for beautiful things.

We received entries from multiple treks for the September 2015 Photo Contest –  Roopkund, Deoriatal – Chandrashila, Pin Parvati and Kashmir Great Lakes. 

The winners of the September 2015 Photo Contest are below! Congratulations! 🙂

WINNER!

Somain Verma – Roopkund 

A terrific photograph, sometimes is fairly simple. It is an honest composition, without many tricks with the computer. Photographing landscape as rich as the Bedni Bugyal requires special hands to bring out its beauty. Somain does that with his eye for light and colours. Waiting for the clouds to give it the perfect touch of shade, makes Somain’s skills stand out.

1st RUNNER UP

Vishwas Krishnamurthy – Roopkund

Vishwas’s photograph of the Patar Nachauni camp is an unusual angle, with a spectacular play of colours of one of the most photographed spot on the Roopkund trek. It is difficult to find fresh angles of a location that is photographed so often. Not only has Vishwas managed that, he’s also brought out the enormity of the landscape beautifully!

2nd RUNNER UP

Raghavendra SN – Roopkund

Raghavendra’s dramatic photograph of the horse on the meadows is terrific. The evening light, the dramatic sky and the horse peering directly into the camera is a rare touch. It is not an easy photograph to take. Not only is it a dramatic photograph, it also gives readers a peek into the lovely meadows of Roopkund.
