    Icon1 Greetings! Shreyas from NJ/NY area

    Greetings, folks!

    This is Shreyas Mantri from the NY metro area, and I got a reference to this awesome portal from naturscapes.net. I originally come from the beautiful city of Udaipur (India), and have been in the US for some time now, and am an Environmental & Chemical Engineer by profession.

    I'm an avid wildlife conservationist and photographer,... rather an overall adventure seeker. My wife calls me "obsessive" rather than just enthusiastic for wildlife as I keep myself busy with either nature photography or watching wildlife documentaries :o!

    The year 2010 has been blessed in terms of adventure as I got to travel to South Africa and Alaska, and had outstanding photography opportunities. I'll be posting some of the clicks shortly.

    I look forward to getting in touch with all you like-minded folks, share pictures and experiences of travels and adventures.

    Cheers!
    Shreyas

    Welcome to the BPN community, Shreyas! It sounds like you have had a very blessed year...I can't wait to see some of the images from your trip. Let us know if you have any questions and remember to share as much information about your images as you can - it will certainly make our critiques more worthwhile.

    Hey Kaustubh, my love for wildlife has always taken precedence in photography (and in general) over my landscape pictures....and funny enough, I do not have a decent shot from Udaipur as of yet! However, during my travels in last December, have a few from the road. Will post them soon! Udaipur is a beauty par excellence right now as the rains were good this year!

    Btw, assuming that you're from MH, I studied at Pune Univ. for Engg. :)
