Kamal Chilaka Photography

Fall in New England was and is probably one of the biggest inspirations for my Nature and travel Photography. .Having had the opportunity to live in that beautiful region with its 4 full seasons and witnessed the progress of fall colours on the trees in my twenties, I have been drawn back to this wonderful gem of nature to explore and photograph as my photographic ability and my equipment has gotten better over the years. I feel there is always something more I could do to capture the magnificent fall colours.

20 years of travel and photography in Europe but somehow I had never made it to Switzerland for a proper holiday or photography trip.Somehow visiting Switzerland for a holiday felt like a cliche from all those Bollywood movies I watched while growing up.

May in Australia isn’t summer actually but it is summer in the Indian Subcontinent and most of South East Asia where I am based. In tropical Australia, the dry season from May to October has clear blue skies and sunny days. The temperatures are cooler. In May, the average daytime temperatures in Sydney are generally around 16°C and hardly fall below the average minimum temperatures of 12°C. The peak temperature of the month can reach a pleasant 20°C. Sydney in May is generally sunny and perfect for hitting the beach.
