In the Middle
of Nowhere
Kartik Jasti, Dwarka
“When I was in Ladakh,
this particular scene
caught my attention
because of the small
cottage nestled in the
middle of the endless
landscape. The clouds,
emerging from the
far side of mountains,
added to the sense of
detachment. To capture
this feeling, I made sure
to include as much of the
sky as possible to the
composition and made
the resultant image.”Camera: Nikon D800

A Sky full of Stars
Asher leo, Malaysia
“One night, I set out to
capture the Milky Way.
Unfortunately, it was a
very cloudy night, but
I still wanted to shoot.
I set my camera on
a tripod and waited
patiently for the clouds
to disperse. While I didn’t
get a chance to observe
a clear sky, I found this
cloud formation and
immediately shot the
picture. I was quite
happy with the result as
it gives the impression of
guiding the viewer to the
Milky Way.”Camera: Canon EOS 60D
