Capturing snow texture – Prayer flags, Khardung la
Modern-day cameras seem intelligent. In reality, they are dumb. No matter where you meter, the camera-meter tries to provide you exposure settings that turn the metered area 18% grey. - Capturing snow texture - Prayer flags, Khardung la - Travelure ©

Shooting Light trails – Sydney Harbour Bridge
Given the traffic speed, the cars took about 13 seconds to give me seamless light trails. So, I took the final shot at those settings and cropped it square. The square composition allowed for a perfect diagonal that embellished the final shot. - Shooting light trails - Sydney Harbour Bridge - Travelure ©

Capturing the sunset colours and silhouettes – Camels at Pushkar
Around sunset, the sky has intense light. Even more so in a desert. In a photograph, it looks washed out and too bright. As a result, we lose these magnificent colours. The challenge? Get them right in the shot. - Capturing the sunset colours and silhouettes - Camels at Pushkar - Travelure ©

Capturing speed in a still image – Bareback Rider, Kila Raipur
A normal photographic frame is not dynamic. While we may freeze a moment, capturing the excitement and speed eludes us. Besides, to bring alive a story, you need a spur-of-the-moment judgement call on what or who to focus on. - Capturing speed in a still image - Bareback Rider, Kila Raipur - Travelure ©
