2014Sunrise @ Matanga Parvatha
Landscape photography can be hard work and only sometimes all the efforts pay off. During my visit to Hampi this past weekend, along with a bunch of photographers led by Arun Bhat from Darter Photography, we woke up around 4:45 am, got ready by 5:30 am and left for Matanga Parvatha. It is a 20 – 30 minute hike up along the steep steps to the top of Matanga Parvatha, which is the tallest hill around the Hampi ruins. We had to do all of this in-order to ensure we were well in time for the main show to begin i.e. sunrise over Hampi. This time around, I did not climb all the way to the top of the hill, but stopped at a clear landing, about 20 mts below the hill top, in order to photography scenery on the south / south-eastern portions around the Matanga Parvatha.
Here are some of the shots made during this fantastic natural event.

The main event begins… Sun rises over the numerous hillocks and brings various and brilliant hues of red, orange and yellow.
