Vivid Tranquility

Unadulterated Imagination

  • Welcome Message

    Hello friends!!! Welcome to my photo blog. Well- to start off- I'm no professional photographer and don't know much about the finer nuances and intricacies of the art of photography. I just do it as a hobby and am trying to get good at it. I don't even use a goddamn SLR camera to capture my pictures (waiting to buy one soon). It is vivid in terms of colours and contrasts, and the pictures give a soothing tranquil effect to the mind; hence the name Vivid Tranquility. It's amazing to know that nature has so much to offer us, but it's totally in our hands to absorb as much as we can or relate to it. Or else you're going to miss all the fun big time. Don't forget to gimme your feedbacks on the photos you liked (or the ones you didn't like too). Believe me, there is nothing that motivates me more than this.

Bandipur National Park: Deers in the dark. Captured in total darkness with my flash on. Their retinas are built to absorb more light for better night vision. Notice the entire herd looking in my direction.

Captured by me atop Doddabetta, the highest peak in the Nilgiris. The view from this place was just outstanding.
