Morning Rays (1)

About the Photo:
“If I had a wish that I could wish for you
I’d make a wish for sunshine for all the while”
The sunshine, particularly the morning sunrays become visible when
scattered from fog in the winter and create beautiful patterns passing
through different obstacles. Capturing the drama in light and shadow
is the greatest satisfaction for any photographer. I shot this morning
rays while the sunrays were beaming through these beautifully
patterned trees in front of the faculty hall in Indian Institute of
Science. When I visualized this, I knew that all the elements present
in the frame would contribute positively to make one of my favorite
photos. It is always difficult to tackle and capture these tricky
lighting conditions but it gives immense satisfaction when they come
out well. I waited for a morning with dense fog and bright sunshine,
and finally it was the morning of a Saraswati puja day when I got
everything working just perfectly for me and here is the photo that I
made. Hope you all will like it. This photo has been exhibited in more
than ten international salons, and won a couple of honorable mentions.
