This monsoon, Darter Photography is taking you to the pristine rainforests of the Western Ghats – Agumbe. Experience the place which gets the highest rainfall in South India, get up-close with diverse endemic species of the region and interact with researchers studying these forests. And possibly see and photograph the king of these forests, the aptly named King Cobra.
Tour Details
The rainforests of Agumbe come alive in the peak monsoons. The sound of water droplets falling from high up in the canopy to puddles on the ground, the croaks of frogs as they look for mates, and the multitude of insects buzzing form a natural orchestra that quickly becomes addictive. Little streams flow through the forest, tumbling down as beautiful waterfalls in many places. Fungi of all shapes, sizes and colors are everywhere. Snakes, in their myriad colours and sizes, eagerly wait and lookout for prey. Praying Mantises blend into their environments, perfectly camouflaging themselves…

Darter Photography – Workshop on Photographing Landscapes
I will be conducting a workshop on the nuances of making great landscapes photographs on July 2nd and 3rd, Saturday and Sunday, in Bangalore.
Introduction
Darter Photography is bringing you a weekend photography workshop on capturing beautiful landscapes. India is a land of diverse and fascinating landscapes, varying from high mountains, green hills, arid desert lands, sea-scapes, rocky terrains and much more. Very often when we see these breathtaking landscapes, we are awed and humbled. But these amazing spectacles, when photographed, often do not do justice to the beauty of what our eyes have seen and tend to appear repetitive or insipid despite the magnificence of the scenery. This workshop intends to change this and help you make great landscape images next time you travel or even in your neighbourhood park.
