First Snow of 2015 in Washington DC

January 7, 2015 by Navin Sarma

Yesterday, we had our first snowfall in the Washington, D.C. area. I for one am ALWAYS excited about the snow. Though there can be trecherous conditions and people can get hurt while driving, if people can keep as safe as possible, it really is a glorious time to be outside and enjoy the environment. Nothing […]

Sunset, Twilight, and Night Photography at Manassas Battlefield Park

January 4, 2015 by Navin Sarma

Tonight, I led an Advanced Nature and Landscape Photography: Twilight and Night Photography field workshop at Manassas Battlefield Park. We had some great weather of nearly 60 degrees, a beautiful sunset, and great clouds with glimpses to the moon. Here’s a set of images that follows from sunset through twilight and night.

Puerto Rico for the Weekend!

August 7, 2014 by Navin Sarma

This past weekend, my wife and I took a last-minute trip down to Puerto Rico. We found a pretty good deal from DC: a direct flight, a rental car, and a package discount to stay on the northeast corner of the island, a beautiful cliffside resort in Fajardo. We had it all figured out and […]

How to Capture a Panorama: Great Falls National Park

July 16, 2014 by Navin Sarma

Earlier this week, I went to Great Falls Park to continue a photography project I have been on this summer (which I hopefully can release sometime soon). What I didn’t expect was to shoot a panorama, as well! But once I saw the moon peak out of the southeastern sky, I knew I had to […]

Creative Exercises at Great Falls

May 14, 2014 by Navin Sarma

I have spent a lot of time this year thinking about how to improve as a photographer and artist. I feel like I have had stops and starts throughout this process — not nearly as easy as I would hope. While I know what subjects and moods interest me, I am curious about the narrative […]

A Winter Break in Belize

March 12, 2014 by Navin Sarma

Washington, D.C. has had a more brutal winter than we’re accustomed to. It has been much colder and snowier than in the recent past. As I have mentioned on this blog, I for one am OK with a real winter like this. But, it’s also fun to break out and experience warm weather in the […]

The Eastern Sierras, Part 3: Lundy Canyon and Lake Tahoe

September 25, 2013 by Navin Sarma

Following up on Part 2 from my trip to the Eastern Sierras, my next destination was the Lundy Canyon and Lake Tahoe. Not a whole lot of time to write about what adventures I had since I’m boarding a plane to ITALY in a few hours! Needless to say, after a few days of hiking […]

The Eastern Sierras, Part 2: The White Mountains

September 17, 2013 by Navin Sarma

Following up on Part 1 from my trip to the Eastern Sierras, my next destination was the White Mountains. The White Mountains are a few miles away from Bishop, California. A desert mountain, the area looks like a gray, barren wasteland, with occasional shrubs and nearly no wildlife except for beetles, marmots, and small birds. […]

The Eastern Sierras, Part 1: Mono Lake

September 6, 2013 by Navin Sarma

In early August, I traveled out west for a good friend’s wedding in San Diego. Given I am rarely on the west coast, I took this trip as an opportunity to explore a region of our country that I hadn’t previously. My first thought was to search for any interesting locations within driving distance of […]
