I am Pramod Viswanath. I am a computer engineer by profession and my journey as a nature and wildlife photographer started in mid 2006 when me and my friends made a trip to Kemmangundi - a beautiful place in southern part of the state of Karnataka, India. My friend Anil had just bought his new Sony DSC H1 during the trip and that's when I was solely bitten by the shutter bug. The mountains, the oceans, the jungles and the wilderness as a whole has a lasting healing and relaxing effect on my jaded mind that spends most of the time in the concrete jungle. Ever since I got my Canon 30D, I began frequenting the wild trying to understand the intricacies of nature better and to photograph the most beautiful creations of nature.

Most of the time you can find me writing software programs for my living or glued to internet interacting with the larger photographers community, reading equipment reviews, enjoying zillions of images posted on the web or reading online journals/wildlife magazines or watching Sir David Attenborough's programming on animal planet. That apart, you can find me somewhere in the wild at the crack of dawn - at first light, photographing birds! As the days roll by, my love for nature and photography is growing in leaps and bounds and I don't see the passion subside anytime in near future.

I wish to convey and propagate the message of conservation of nature and wildlife through my photography, hence, would love to portray my work to all the people through this small second home of mine. Thanks to almighty for all the beautiful creations that he has given us and many thanks to my ever encouraging parents who support me for what I am doing. I am open to comments and positive criticisms on my images . I strongly condemn and criticize downloading of any content/images on this site with out my permission and hence is strictly prohibited.
