Great Job Dibyendu Das
Silchar Landscape Photographer Dibyendu Das's Picture of Sonbeel got published in British Magazine.
Who says you have to go to Iceland, Norway, Italy, Patagonia to take a good landscape photo? Our Silchar based landscape photographer Dibyendu Das never believed it. He has always said that pictures are not good or bad with any place. If you can take pictures properly, you can take pictures in your backyard and earn prizes or fame. And today he has proved his words with his work. A landscape of Sonbeel taken by Dibyendu Das last year was published on 14 September by the popular British print photography magazine "Digital Photographer" in two pages for their October issue, in "Shot of the Month" section.
The picture was taken just after sunset, which the photographer calls the " BLUE HOUR". In the picture, the Hizol trees are standing on the water and the reflection of those trees is prominently visible on the water and just behind it is the last color of that famous sunset of this Valley. Dibyendu Das in a conversation with Cachar chronicles said that to take such a picture, some technique is required which is called long-exposure technique in the language of photography.He has been working at Assam University for 25 years, is addicted to taking pictures for which he has to give up a lot of things, many times at work place has to face many difficulties. Many of his photography tours had to be cancelled last year and this year for Corona. However, his tour of Sikkim last January has given him some relief.
In his discussions with us, he said that he wanted to share his success with everyone and his humble request to the government and the people to take a look at the Sonbeel and Chatla Haor so that the natural beauty of these two water bodies can be showed in front of the whole world. For the sake of tourists, he wants you to visit Sonbeel more often, but look a little cleaner, because last week, when he went to take pictures, he saw several thermocol plates, water bottles, carry bags scattered and floating on the water. So all the tourists should be a little aware of this and don't throw away the water bottles, plastic or thermocol plates used by them and bring them with them and throw them in a dustbin.
