The Splendor of Chandratal, by Dipanjan Mitra

Himachal Pradesh in India is one place where I would particularly want to re-visit after Ladakh. A small trek to Chandratal opened the beauty of the mighty Himalayas in front of my eyes. The rock in the foreground looked like a miniature stone in the vastness. The reflection in the lake of the water of the snow peaks in the backdrop was a treat to the eyes.

Photographer: Dipanjan Mitra (Calcutta, India) Registered
Being a software professional since 1999, Dipanjan Mitra always had an intense desire to travel across the Indian terrains. It was long inhibited till 2006 when his journey began with a small digital camera in the state of Karnataka. The world of photography really got him going when he moved on to a relatively higher end digital camera in the form of Canon S5 IS which he had used for around 2 years, trying to learn the magic of shutter and aperture until the real journey began with a Rebel T1i in May 2010. Fascinated by the magic of being behind the lens keeps amazing him every day. He wishes this journey never ends.
