Stories from Journey Through Nature Shiv

After a very long time I ended up in Bandipur earlier this week and I was shocked and surprised how much the world of “wildlife photography” has changed or rather evolved in a negative sense. This was not how the whole wildlife photography scene was even like 5+ years ago. Or maybe I have not caught up to the pace of the ever-changing world.

In the second episode of Stories from fellow travellers, I have with me Gowri Subramanya, a photographer and writer based out of Bangalore, India who will be sharing her story from one of her unforgettable trips to Valley of Flowers in North India. She even shares with us a few trivia and a lot of memorable experiences from her trip. 

You can explore more of her photography work and her writing over at her website gowri.me and don't forget to follower her on social media where is quite active. 

In the first episode of the Season 2 of the Stories from Journey Through Nature, I have with me Sriharsha Ganjam from Landscape Wizards and Imagein from Artburt who wants to tell you a little adventurous story about him venturing out to shoot a very unique Astro event. 

Its kind of a milestone episode and I had kept this story aside for last few weeks so that I can schedule it for the 10th episode. A story about how I had risked my life in an attempt to get a good photo of an elusive bird which I had gone to photograph in Ladakh in 2009. Listen to the story and you will realise when and how the tripod will come into the picture.

One of the most adventurous trips that I have ever been without any doubt. This trip had adventures and surprises on each and every day. 

Today's story dates back to August of 2009 when myself and my friend Ganesh H Shankar ( www.naturelyrics.com ) had gone to Shivanasamudra for a weekend photo shoot and one wrong decision we took that day almost ended up being a fatal one and the lesson we learnt from that.
