Nagpur: Wildlife photography is widely believed to be one of the most challenging and rewarding genres of photography. “In wildlife photography the subject of the photograph is dynamic. Photographers have to be vigilant enough to be able to capture the perfect moment,” said Sunil Limaye, former additional principal chief conservator of forest, at a wildlife photography exhibition, inaugurated at Rangayan gallery, Chitnavis Centre, on Friday.The three-day exhibition is a tribute to wildlife activist Raju Harkare. It has been organized by Srushti Paryavaran Mandal, a non-governmental organization (NGO) with the objective of working towards nature conservation. Based in Nagpur, the organization actively works in the surrounding districts, concentrating on wildlife and environmental issues.“At Srushti, our ideology is based on three words; ‘Sampark’, ‘Sahabhag’ and ‘Samvardhan’. These words form the basic working style of any project we undertake. Sampark, which means ‘contact’, is to establish contact with the locals or people concerned with the issue. Sahabhag meaning ‘to join or to contribute’, is to come together, understand and confront the cause. Samvardhan meaning ‘conservation’, is to preserve or restore the apposite. We believe, this ideology makes us work in a more disciplined and transparent way,” said Limaye.Eighty five photographs selected from across the country under Raju Harkare memorial national-level wildlife photography competition were displayed at the exhibition. “They were chosen from among 700 photographs,” said Swanand Soni, coordinator, Shrushti Paryavaran Mandal.Environmental activist Gopal Thosar and Sanjay Deshpande, president of Shrushti Paryavaran Mandal, were present on the occasion. They congratulated the organizers for holding the exhibition.(Reporting by Grace Arora)
