I'am still trying to settle on a style for these videos. Suggestions and criticisms are always welcome.
Thank you again for all your support. Every n...

Please enjoy a high quality distraction free viewing of my latest video. A short winter in Spiti.
This is my first video in 4K. It was excruciatingly slow to edit this video on my MacBook Air but it was definitely worth the effort.
I cant stress enough on how thankful I'am to receive all this support from you. It has made my lif...

An ad-free viewing of my latest time-lapse video from Ladakh. Thank you for your continued support.
2017 will be a year of videos + time-lapses. Having gotten a handle on making time-lapse videos, I now want to practice the art of story telling through short documentary style videos. This is not one of them though! I shot this short video of the season's first snowfall in #Manali. The snowfall was a boon to the rain starved villages around Mana...

Winter is here. I could feel its cold winds even down south in Chennai. And it is time for me to reminisce about my favourite trip in the mountains. Spending winters in Ladakh.
In winters the (now) familiar landscape of Ladakh takes a whole new look. Rivers and lakes are frozen. Even hot spring geysers are not spared. And when it snows...

After all the numerous teasers, here it is. My one major video for this year. A time-lapse journey across Spiti.
Trying out a new format this time. The Buzzfeed clickbait style 'X Reasons why you should _____' format. Let me know if this style works. Is it more engaging than my previous videos? Do let me know.

A short time-lapse introduction to the Pin Valley in the Lahul & Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh, India.
I did not spend much time in Pin Valley. Just over a week venturing into a few valleys emanating from the Pin Valley National park.
The landscape of Pin valley is very different from that of Spiti. It is much greener here. ...
The Spiti valley trek takes you to some of the highest villages in the world and give you a glimpse into the simple lives of the people there.
The landscape in these mountain villages are a stark contrast to those down in the valley floor. Steep arid mountain slopes give way to a plateau like landscape with gentle rolling hills and meadows w...
Chandra Taal or the 'Moon Lake' is a small lake (about 4km in circumference) located in the Himachal Pradesh state of India. While not as big as the lakes in Ladakh, ChandraTal is definitely one of the most beautiful lakes I have seen.
Because of its small size the water in the lake is perfectly still when there is no wind. The entire lake ...
My first time-lapse video of the season. The Pandu Ropa meadows above Manali. Hopefully this will get the ball rolling and there would be many more videos to come this year.

I did a series of time-lapse videos for Royal Enfield in the summer of 2015. The brief was to capture the spirit of touring in the Himalaya with a Royal Enfield motorcycle.
I traveled around Ladakh for close to 35 days capturing the time-lapse clips for the project. We picked the best clips from the shoot and assembled them into 3 two-minute ...

Sharing my experiences for getting the pan and tilt movements right in your motion controlled time-lapse videos.
I have been shooting time-lapse videos with the eMotimo TB3 for close to 3 years now. I'am still learning various aspects of creating engaging time-lapse videos. The one thing I have the most trouble with is doing smooth pan and ti...

The last and final video for the #Himalayan series takes you around my favourite location in #Ladakh. The beautiful Tsomoriri lake and its surroundings.
This video is special for me because as part of the shoot I discovered Kyun Ding. Home of the beautiful twin Kyun Tso lakes and prime grasslands where the Changpas from Hanl...

This second video of the Royal Enfield #Himalayan series gives you a glimpse of the life and landscapes around Leh.
Of all the 3 videos, this one shows how challenging the conditions were during the shoot. July/August is season for rain in Ladakh and it rained heavily this time. Bridges collapsed behind me, roads were washed out ahea...

Very excited to share the videos from my very first assignment. Last summer Royal Enfield commissioned me for a time-lapse video project in Ladakh. One month riding (mostly) solo to the remote corners of Ladakh to shoot these videos. It was so much fun and definitely validated the choices I made with my life in the last few years.
This video ...

With India in Motion, my goal is to showcase the incredible beauty of India through timelapse videos. Here is the first instalment towards fulfilling that goal. A timelapse showcase of Ladakh. I spent 3 months in Ladakh (6 weeks in Autumn and 6 weeks in the Winter) shooting these videos. I do this on a shoe string budget. Spending around 300 Rupe...
