Welcome to Nature Lyrics !
My name is Ganesh H Shankar (or Ganesh HS). I live in Bangalore, India. I was born and brought-up in a small beautiful village closer to both Arabian sea and Western Ghats (ever green rain forest mountain ranges in India). So my love for nature and wildlife is by birth. I started photography with a an in expensive point-and-shoot camera in 1994 but it became my passionate hobby from 1998. I am not a professional nature photographer in the sense that I don't make my living from it otherwise, I think I am as professional-:) This helps me in some way - I make images for myself (atleast as of now) not for nature photography market. So I am not bound by rules of making images. By profession I am an engineer.
Nature Lyrics is collection of some of my images of wildlife and nature. This is my attempt at portraying how I saw/see nature and wildlife. Nature photography may have several purposes ranging from research, documentation to creation of aesthetic art. My interest is in creating some "artistic" imagery in my own way and is not in making collection of images of different birds or mammals.
All my images are made in a completely ethical way - subject's welfare comes first. Most of the images here are full frame and are capable of producing fine, large prints. I use quality equipments ranging from Nikon 12-24mm lens to 600mm f4 AF-S lens using either Nikon D300, D200 or Nikon F5 (earlier) bodies, Gitzo 1500/GT5540LS tripod, Arca-Swiss B1 and Wimberley heads and using right techniques. I also use a large format 4x5 view camera occasionally to make landscapes.

Thanks for visiting. I will be regularly updating my home with new lyrics from nature. New Images link will take you to recently made images. Creative-Visions link will take you to a gallery of images where in I attempted at seeing nature differently and tried to portray them in my own way - "seeing" is the theme of this gallery. I also have a gallery of my Personal Favourites. I love writing and tried to express thought process behind making some of my images in a few articles. You may want to visit my Articles link too.
See you soon again ! I hope you will enjoy some of these images.
