Landscape nominee

I had been planning this photograph for nearly a year. I visited this spot a total of 5 times in order to get the alignment right. 2 days before the eclipse I dropped my camera while making some test shots at this location. The main display of my camera cracked and stopped working. I was devastated. Luckily the electronic viewfinder of my camera was still working and I had to rely on that for the rest of the trip. All the planning helped in the end. I was able to get 2 perfect alignments during the different phases of the eclipse. This is one of them.

Hello my name is Prajit Ravindran. I am a Software Engineer by profession but Landscape Photography is my passion. I started my journey into world of photography in 2007. I dabbled into different genres of photography before focusing on landscape photography. When I moved to Utah in 2011, I fell in love with the state. During the last 10+ years I have driven 150000+ miles exploring the rich, diverse landscape that Utah has to offer. I am currently based in Salt Lake City. My passion project for the last 4 years has been to capture images of the crescent moon and its alignment with planets or features of the landscape. My goal is capture unique images that represent real moments of magic found in nature. I'm constantly striving to make unique images that stand out from the millions of images we see every single day.
