D K PATTANAYAK
Born in 1958, started taking photographs when I was thirteen years old, with a Agfa box camera and Agfa Click III
Bought a National 35 rangefinder camera in 1980, and purchased a new Nikon FE 2 SLR in 1985. Got a Nikon EM SLR in between, and a Nikon F80 in 2001. Got my first digital SLR, the D750 in 2016, and the mirrorless Nikon Z7 in 2018. Presently shooting primarily with the Nikon Z9 and Z7, with approximately 40 lenses, including vintage lenses. Prime area of interest are landscapes, wildlife and heritage. Everything about Nature photography excites and inspires me.
NATURE THE MAGNIFICENT
What can be more miraculous than the perfect alignment of the Drang Drung Glacier, Zanskar, Ladakh, with the Milky-way, in the ink-black firmament of Ladakh, and a million stars beckoning the viewer to be one with the universe!.

FROM THE HEAVEN LAKE
The calligraphy of water on the valley floor, brings its journey to the final stretch, where it finds a vast canvas. Starting as ice in the high-altitude Himalayan peaks, and concentrated and compacted in the glaciers midway, it comes down as glacial melt in summer.

THE INEFFABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING
Spirits are meant to soar, despite whatever fetters or weight some external factor attaches to the body. Wanted to convey the joy, the effulgence and the sheer flight of the white frangipani flower into an ethereal plane. As if the flower is indicating through the five petals formed like a mudra, a visual alphabet, to rise above the mundane, and be a part of the sublime, and the infinite.

INTIMATE LANDSCAPE
Nature's so-called chaotic and random algorithm creates stunning beauty, that requires a loving eye to see and appreciate it. Hada Kankali (Ardisia solanacea) flower photographed on leaf litter.

SERENDIPITY AT ITS VERY BEST
While photographing this glacial lake in the Himalayan highlands of Ladakh, I was pleasantly surprised to see this wild horse come to have a drink at the lake. The sun was already high in the sky, but I was lucky in creating a sunstar to celebrate this wonderful conjunction of events.

THE LIGHT OF SPRING
Kanchana (Bauhinia variegata) flowers put up a spectacular show in late winter and early spring. The flowers are noted for the beautiful structure, colours, and profusion, and almost the total absence of leaves. Paint the world pink.
