Hello! How are you all? Today I want to talk about a trip I took to the mountains in Uttarakhand in India. This was a self sustained trek in which me and my friends cooked our own food, pitched our own tents, and did mostly everything on our own whilst being mindful of our surroundings. It was a great learning experience for me which will help me a lot in the future if I plan on taking trips that will be much more photography-based, maybe some solo.

For me, the trip started out quite hectic. Trying to figure out how to cook food in the wilderness while putting a roof over your head was quite a deal. As we moved from campsite to campsite, most of my time went into adjusting. I regret not making or finding enough time to spend with my camera. Though the little moments I did get with it during some stops of the hike or even at the end made me really happy.

(tried clicking a good picture of the moon with my camera, came out quite well, unlike my other moon pictures which look like someone just placed a light in the sky. )
The other pictures from the trip will soon be available on my portfolio. These photos above are the unedited versions of the pictures, and I'm excited to hop into Lightroom and start playing around. This was a really, really short article. I just wanted to tell you guys about my first trip. I plan to take more of these trips in the future, which will have way more elaborate articles and will be primarily for photography purposes. Thank you for checking out this short article! My next one comes out on the 15th of October which will talk about how I've been thinking about upgrading my camera and what are my options.
Most photographers go for details and depth as it should be. But i see not only details and depth but one most beautiful addition in your clicking picture. And that is story telling. Every picture has a new story every time i see it. Beauty can be described in words but a story can be described as many times as we see it. Every time a new story. It’s timeles. You are doing very well and keep doing what you do.
A lovely heart soothing trip.
Definitely an upgrade is always good. Even if it’s a vision or anything els. go for it for sure.
