Hello! Welcome to my personal website – PhotoMithra. This website is an attempt to showcase photographs taken by me, but I also intend to add content on topics related to photography/travel from time to time. Read on for more about me…

I developed interest in photography during one of my trips in 2007. I had a point-n-shoot camera from much before that as well. But I decided to put it to active use after that trip. As might be common with anybody with a newly acquired interest, I went on a spree, clicking pictures of almost everything around me. It was somewhere during late 2008 that I bought my first DSLR. Over time, I (might) have toned down my picture spree. If I compare myself today to me in 2007, I almost look like a lazy photographer (which, I mean in a good way… :D). I realize that its easy to “spray and pray” – something which could be blamed(?) on photography going digital and all that. Although there is nothing wrong in clicking a lot of pictures, its important to first understand the surroundings, enjoy it while one’s at it, then take time to compose and take the picture. An image is a form of expression – the way one (probably) recognizes you when you start to speak, its a great thing if one can recognize a picture to have been taken from you. I’m not there yet :D. Photography continues to be a serious hobby and more than anything else, I enjoy it. I enjoy traveling. I am always looking to visit new places, sometimes revisit the places I’ve visited in the past. Currently I have in my bag – Nikon D90, the kit lens, Nikon D750, Nikon 16-35mm f/4 VR, Nikon 70-300mm VR, Tokina 11-16mm, 50mm/1.4, 85mm f/1.8, and the Nikon SB-600 speedlight.

Along the way in my journey of photography and travel, I have managed to pick up some recognitions. Here are a few, of note:

• Listed as one of the top 100 travel bloggers on Holidify
• Took part in a blogger program at Forsyth lodge, Satpura national park, MP
• Displayed my work at a few exhibitions in Bangalore

Well then, enough of my rant. Now that you’re here, I hope you enjoy the images in my showcase. Thanks for visit and please do keep coming back for more 🙂
