BPN is one of my all time fav. site to learn and enjoy photos by some amazing photographers. though I am regular on this site just thought of introducing now.
I am Kiran Ghadge from Pune (Maharashtra, India) photographer professionally and by choice :). what I most enjoy doing is being close to nature and capturing pictures of all the life that it holds. I like to travel places as most photographers do but mostly I visit places in and around my home state which I feel has abundant variety of both flora and fauna.
Formerly before I took up photography as full time profession I was in the Software Industry working as a user expereince designer for more than 12 years. I finally bade goodbye to my comfortable job a few months back as it left me very little time with my camera.
I still undertake design projects as an independant consultant as designing has been my another passion.
I love photography to its core so everything that I can take a picture of is dear to me. It allows me to express my perception of the world. Every opportunity to shoot is a way for me to create some art and something new whether it be people, place or a thing, be it some occasion or some celebration or even stone lying by the side of the road.
I have put up some of my work on the site. Hope you have a happy journey browsing through it.
Welcome, Kiran, we're so happy to have you with us! I'm sure you'll be a big asset to the Avian forum. Feel free to offer critiques to others utilizing your experience as a pro. And congrats on making the switch from software to nature photography!
