A Black-spotted Porcupine Fish uses a Giant Barrel Sponge as a harbour away from the current. The swirling effect is created by spinning the camera while exposing and using strobe lights to freeze parts of the frame.

The competition’s website also advertises a certain festival, which got us intrigued. We took the opportunity to ask Radha to tell us a little bit more about it too.

“The Nature inFocus Festival is an annual event that brings together the community of wildlife photographers, filmmakers, conservationists, researchers, students, enthusiasts and nature travellers. The festival is a buzzing space where over a weekend, the community gets the opportunity to interact with people who love wildlife and work for the same causes. Talks, panel discussions, photography showcases, film screenings and many other interactive sessions take place.

The results of the annual Nature inFocus Photography Awards and Film Awards get announced at the event, and all the winning images get exhibited along with images that made it to the final round of judging. The Festival last took place in 2019 and has not been held during the years of the pandemic due to logistical challenges. The next edition will take place in 2023.”
