Photographers’ circle ‘Mushroom’ organised a seven-day photo exhibition titled ‘Aqueous’ here at the lalit Kala Akademi here that concluded on Monday.
The exhibition featured the images of different angles of water taken by Mushroom members. A total of 108 frames were exhibited in the gallery by 44 photographers of the club.
“We had a good response to the exhibitions like every year,” said club president and founder-member Sumon Sinha.
He said, “Works of amateur, professional and novice photographers were on display. We tried to capture different aspects of water.”
Both the budding and professional photographers exhibited water from different angles at various places through their lenses.
Professional photographer Sanjit Patnaik showcased watered rice with many yummy side items with a very beautiful composition. He also exhibited the water spray to the devotees during Rath Yatra at Puri. He had five frames in the gallery and those were really crowd pullers.
Srikrishna Das’ work, reflection of a temple and a bicycle in roadside water of Ranapa in Nayagarh district named ‘Aastha’ also drew crowds.
Srikrishna’s works ‘Silky Waterfall’ and ‘Nohkalikai Fall’ drew the attention of visitors. Srikrishna gave milky effects to the waterfalls.
Sumon Sinha’s ‘Dew Drop’ and ‘Frozen’ also grabbed the attention of visitors.
Satyabrata Mohapatra’s click was wonderful as green environment reflected in a single water droplet. Sidhartha De’s photo showcased a picture of lord Jagannath in a water droplet.
“The objective of organising such an exhibition is to encourage budding photographers and generate a competitive mind among them,” said Jitendra Pati, one of the founder-members of the club.
Professional photographer Jitendra Pati’s ‘Reflection of Kaudias’ was so clear that it was looking like an original one.
The exhibition was inaugurated by the students of the Sri Sri Maa Anand Ashram.
