Back at It

August 12, 2015 by Navin Sarma

It’s been an eventful past several months with some pretty sweeping life changes. Some great, some bad, but such is life. While these events have taken my time and thoughts away from photography, lately I have come back around to re-evaluate my plans. I constantly ask myself questions to make sure that I am following […]

Sunrise Panoramic at the Tidal Basin

March 23, 2015 by Navin Sarma

I find myself always moving to a panoramic when I shoot at this side of the Tidal Basin (near the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial and Martin Luther King Memorial). In contrast to my last image, this was slightly later in the morning just after the sun had risen. The brighter and more direct sunlight turned […]

Ice Covered Trees in Maryland

March 3, 2015 by Navin Sarma

Sleet and freezing rain, while treacherous, provide a beautiful ice coating to most subjects in the environment. Trees look especially beautiful after such precipitation. I remember being so fascinated by this in my youth – especially at watching the ice come off like molding off of branches and leaves. This sort of ice is hard to […]

February Snow in Washington DC

February 17, 2015 by Navin Sarma

This morning I went down to the Vietnam Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, and Washington Monument to check out the snow that had fallen overnight. At first the morning was gray, but soon after sunrise, the clouds began to break. The sun brought a bit of warmth to the scene that contrasted nicely with the blue sky. […]

Sunrise on the Tidal Basin

August 19, 2014 by Navin Sarma

This morning, I hosted a private workshop on the Tidal Basin. We went to one of my favorite spots, the Kutz Bridge, for sunrise. I constantly find myself enamored (at least for now) with the way sunrise light plays with ripples in the water; I like this effect much more than long exposures that smooth […]

New Zealand – Revisited

June 3, 2014 by Navin Sarma

I was sifting through my archives and came across my trip to New Zealand in 2008. This was when I was first toying with photography and was having fun capturing the majestic landscapes around me. If I had the chance, I would change most everything about the images I captured in New Zealand. At the […]

Exploring Abstraction

May 24, 2014 by Navin Sarma

I am having fun in exploring a more creative approach to my photography. All the while, I am pushing new ways for my artwork to be displayed in print. I finally feel like my goals are only an arm’s reach away. Here’s to hoping: I also produced some some more literal expressions with these two […]

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 […]

A Beautiful Fall Night at the U.S. Capitol

January 8, 2014 by Navin Sarma

Early in November, I set out to the U.S. Capitol to recreate a shot that has been a popular print for me: a panorama of the U.S. Capitol with peak fall foliage under gray, rainy skies. I really love the contrast of grays and fall foliage and can appreciate why this shot has been popular. […]

Peak Fall Foliage in Autumn at Blackwater Falls State Park

October 7, 2013 by Navin Sarma

On Friday night, I returned from a 10 day trip with my wife to celebrate our one year anniversary. What an incredible trip! I took some shots along the way, but kept the focus on relaxation and touring each city we visited. I don’t like to mix too much photography “work” with vacationing with family […]

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 […]

Dramatic Clouds at the U.S. Capitol

March 21, 2013 by Navin Sarma

Yesterday, I went scouting at the U.S. Capitol for some shots I plan to take this spring. I was looking for some blooming flowers and after a while of searching, found none. One of the fundamentals of successful photography (in my opinion and that I teach during my workshops), is to come with a plan, […]
