The best moments of nature are most often short-lived. But in this case, the nature surrenders only before a lens man. The moment you enter the gallery of the regional centre of the lalit Kala Academy, you realise it.
like everywhere, there is morning at Bhitarakanika too. But what Radeeh Rameson captures is eye-catching. Basant Behura’s “Saras Crane” says more than thousand words about love. Tapas Rout, a young with immense creativity forte, displays his three photographs. One titled “The Eye” is worth seeing to believe.
The exhibition “Drishtiraaga” attending its fourth edition has 118 frames on subjects like nature, wildlife, street, landscape and city. 58 members in total are participating.

Side by side, instantly I get inputs from the visitors,” he says, adding, “It is also a matter of great satisfaction and pride too that my ones are placed with those of stalwart photographers.”
