Travel photo gallery by Dhanraj from India

I’ m Dhanraj, Presently working as Marine engineer. I just love taking photo. I like all type of photography but landscape attract me more.

Can’t say when I started photography… When I was child my dad had canon SLR T20 … I didn’t knew anything about photography, only thing was I loved taking photo… My first personal camera was Sony cybershot P150.. The best thing about that cam was it had manual mode… though with many limitation… but it was enough to understand working of camera… After I started working I bought SLR Nikon D5000 … and feel in love with it… I could do every experiment I thought of which I could not do on my point and shoot… First I use to just take photos but after this I started understanding photography… Recently I have switched to full frame Nikon D600… and it’s awesome…

Talking about photography… I have just started learning photography… there is so much to explore in it… How much you learn it’s always less… I always say this I am good photographer coz I am gud engineer… coz I know wat physics , mathematics and electronics is going inside camera…. I believe m technically strong and weak at composition… need to learn a lot about it…. Due to by profession I get to travel a lot and some gorgeous place around world …. So get lots of chance to do Cityscape … And back at home my hometown have sea on one side and mountains on other , its awesome place for landscape… I love to capture rich colors of dawn and dusk when natural light is at its most special… and at Night when everyone sleep I travel to distinct place away from city to capture star trails and milky way…. I have tried wildlife , Portrait , street but never got good result … Still I keep doing it so one day I will get better result…. …. I feel very strange when people say “ You don’t need good equipment for photography but a good eye “ …. Tell me how to capture star trails with mobile camera or bird with your kit lens… You need a good eye to see thing but you need instrument to capture it…. For some type of photography it would be true… but not with the kind of photography I do, at least a basic slr or point and shoot with manual control… About editing, I don’t mind in editing.. I only believe that your end result should be good… and that doesn’t mean I ignore thing during taking photos… coz u should know how to capture specific photo so u can edit in way u want….

When it come to achievement I don’t have any big one… For me best feeling is when I meet someone unknown and when he say “you're that Dhanraj wadiwala… I follow your photography.. It’s very gud… “…

I don’t want to write an essay otherwise it would be torture to read… ;)… I think I actually wrote an essay…anyways… Rather than I speak, let my work speak… Do check out my photos and let me know what you feel about it… Also if u don’t like it or any queries you have….
