Work in Hand

village near Barsey, Sikkim - travel photography by Sukalyan Chakraborty

Camera: KODAK C663
Exposure: 1/320s
Aperture: f/2.7
ISO: 80
This photograph is taken while trekking from Varsey to Dentam in west Sikkim. Varsey is a Rhododendron sanctuary which is full of color is mid April and has a great view of Himalayan ranges in mid October to mid November. But the Trekking route from Varsey to Dentam is a very tough one. Very few trekkers take this route. One has to trek through the jungle for nearly 6 km. This was the first village we saw after starting from Varsey. We took some rest, had a cup of tea and started once again.....

Enlightenment

Enlightment - Buddhist Monk at Lava, West Bengal - Travel photography by Sukalyan Chakraborty
Camera: KODAK C663
Exposure: 1/250 s
Aperture: f/4.6
ISO: 80

This photograph is taken in Lava, West Bengal in India. In Lava there is a college for Buddhist monks. Their prayer can be heard from across the town of Lava. It is a nice and quiet place to spend the weekend. When talking about Lava, I should mention one place to stay. The cottages of West Bengal Forest Development Corporation. The place is nothing but a fairyland.

Sunrise from Peling

Sunrise from Peling, Sikkim - travel photography by Sukalyan Chakraborty

Location: Peling, Sikkim, India
Camera: KODAK C663
Exposure: 1/80 s
Aperture: f/8
ISO: 100

This is one of my favorite photograph of sunrise I ever took. On that day we were planning to return from Peling as early as possible as when we went to bed last day it was very cloudy. At last we decided to have a look from our hotel window before getting ready to leave. And we found no cloud at all. Immediately our plan was changed and rushed out of the hotel with all our photography gear. It was really satisfying to click such a landscape photography featuring Kanchanjungha..
