We were lucky enough to host a Nikhil Bahl workshop in December. Saturday was an all day classroom instuction session, followed by a sunrise shoot the following morning at Buckroe Beach and Salt Ponds.
This is Nikhil’s bio from his website..
Nikhil Bahl is a professional nature photographer, educator, author, lecturer and workshop instructor. He currently resides in Montgomery Village, Maryland (U.S.A.). His goal is to inspire people to appreciate the splendor of nature by becoming aware of that which is easily overlooked, and by transforming the mundane into the exciting through contemplative and artistic interpretation. While his primary aim is to create art with his photographs, he also strives to document the natural world with an eye toward conservation and education. This has led him to volunteer his time and photography skills with the National Park Service and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
Nikhil’s work has been published in a number of print and electronic media. His fine art prints have been widely exhibited in the Washington metropolitan area, and are part of many private collections. Nikhil leads several nature photography workshops and tours, primarily along the East coast of the United States. He also teaches photography at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in Vienna, Virginia and through Digital Photo Academy. His instruction is focused on in-camera interpretation and developing personal vision, rather than simply following the traditional rules of photography.
We started out at Buckroe Beach before dawn to capture the sunrise and reflections of light in the sand.
Then at Gen’s suggestion we went down the road to Salt Ponds for a less crowded area to explore.
By shooting with a wide angle lens, and laying on the ground, this is one of the shots I captured.
