The World through my Lens...
Photography by Gopan G. Nair

My belief is that Photography is 70% luck, 20% goes to the equipment & 10% is the contribution from the photographer. Great pictures just happen...They exist everywhere...The lucky one just clicks...

They say, 'To be a successfull photographer, you have to be at the right place at the right time...'Well...In my case, most of the pictures displayed here are occurrences or coincidences from normal life ; perhaps I was lucky enough to have a camera with me .

I am an Instrumentation Engineer by profession, which primarily earns me my daily bread. Freelance-Photography is my past time hobby, though I hardly find time for serious photography.

My fascination for drawing & painting helped me win a few laurels in school/college days. In the late seventies, my dad bought me an Agfa Click-IV camera & that opened a much wider horizon in front of me. That camera costed less than 100 Rs (2$) those days !!. During my school days, I used to assist a local photographer with developing & printing in his studio, which gave me an insight into handling professional equipment as well.

Over 30 years in the world of photography....It is indeed a very long time. When I look back, those 120mm black & white films in the early days, gradual transition to 35mm colour films and transparencies... it's all become history now. Over two decades back, photography was not an affordable hobby for most of us. Had to wait until a film-roll gets exposed completely and spend several hours in those creepy dark-rooms. The long wait and eagerness to see the results... I believe it was really worth that effort. There was joy of creation behind every capture...

I have a passion for the colors of nature and I never missed a chance to capture it . Misty mornings, Colorful skies, Green fields and the innocence of adolescence have become the subjects in front of my lens .

Photography has become child's play now; We have brainy equipments and more powerful softwares which could do wonders for you.

For me, Photography is an art and passion to cherish a lifetime.
