I returned last night from an amazing week spent in the beautiful Thar desert in Rajasthan. Happened to spend spend couple of sessions at the Kichan village where about 5000-7000 Demoiselle cranes congregate every year during winter and its a spectacle in itself just to see the sheer number with the naked eye. The day 01 went on with the usual portraits and perspectives of the typical nature from my end which was expected of me. But on the second day, i decided to shoot stuff differently which was my main intention. Whilst talking to some kids who had come to see me what am doing, i happened to ask them where do they go after winter, for which i got a reply "pata nahi kaha chaley jathey hai, paar agle saardi main idhar hi aa jathey hai kahi sey" (dont know where they go, but next winter they will come here from somewhere). Even whilst i was shooting a small movement of local shepherds or tractor or any vehicle the birds used to take off in huge batches and fly away somewhere and come back ( not sure if they were the same ones who took off a while back ) in smaller batches. Having seen and witnessed this stuff, i thought let me try and depict the flight of the cranes in such a way that - it shows how they vanish into infinity that no one defines where they are off to.

So this image above is one of the many that i managed to trigger which i feel is very close to my heart from this trip.

Apparently am not too sure if this can be coined as "Creative" - but this according to me is my way of "seeing" and "emotionally representing" what i saw and what i wanted to convey using the image and didnt wanted it to be just another slow shutter speed image.
