Wildlife: Honorable Mention 2016 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
A Close to heart encounter.
It was personal experience, and me being all dull that we couldn't track down a single cat (where tracking down a cat is a real challenge in southern forest of India ), but then at the end during the course period of conclusion, just 5 mins to cut of time I came across a major beauty, he was just handsome and massive.
This curious handsome had emerged form the bushes just to give this innocent look. Just 2 meters away from my jeep. A moment worth experiencing. He was so close that my heart rates did beat faster every second by then. But at the end of the day one single look to the lens is all what mattered to me.
Every experience in wild is a lesson that makes us more confident to face even more worser situations. As I always kept advising wild life is not just about major gears and tele photo lens. Its about the best tracking team and luck & patience. I had this full framed with my bestie 55-250mm which makes me conclude it again & again, stop depending on advance DSLR systems. The best kept feature is your knowledge to compose & hard work to sit back and wait for the right moment.
AUTHOR
My self Praveen Premkumar, I hove from Kerala. Guruvayur being my native, I completed my schooling at M.E.S Indian School, Doha Qatar, (Middle East). later on decided to pick up multimedia & animation as my main field because I was friendlier towards creativity and finally shifted on to Bangalore. Currently completed BSc In Multimedia at Wiztoonz Academy of Media & Design, Jp Nagar, Bangalore.
Well photography is my platform and so is cinematography. I had this taste towards photography since teenage. Probably 8th standard and I used to click around roaming with the basic point and shoot film rolled camera. Basically it’s all about my view towards life. How I see a frame and how I wish to freeze it over time and pack it to my collection. The images I click is what I see through my 3rd eye (that’s a common term all use, In fact what I would say is, It’s my way of relating the emotions in subjective life with the once inside my head). There may be variety of perspective for once thought against a subject he/she views, I wish to capture that moment of act which I think is worth a share to the world such that it does convey something to someone.
I love visualising the actions and reactions around me. If I were to analyse what this motherly earth provided us with, then I would come up with a conclusion that it’s just what we see, what we feel and touch. Something you see is what you believe unless you’re corrected with true reasons. But the moment you believe your eyes that’s where you succeed with the available thoughts and assumptions. It may or may not be true, but there’s a fact behind everything you convey your senses with & for.
