Why is this my favourite?

Because this picture summarises the poetry my heart wrote for her in the skies.

Someone who used to be special to me once taught me to appreciate the beauty above us. She showed me how to find magic in the skies. Even though we parted ways for unavoidable reasons, I’ve held onto that part of our story through my newfound love for the skies.

Lately, I’ve been discovering mesmerizing paintings in the clouds. When the sky shifts to a unique hue, I like to believe someone’s painting up there. That’s exactly what happened on October 2nd, 2024, around 5 PM IST., in the outskirts of Bengaluru, India. The entire sky was bathed in a dusky shade of beige, and when I stepped onto the terrace, it felt like I was staring at a portal to heaven, a world where she and I existed as one.

Technique?

None, really. I just used the grid to centre it and adjusted the HDR and shadows—nothing more. This is 99.9% the original picture.

Phone?

Nothing Phone (1). Stock camera app.

This is Halebedu, Karnataka, India. Built in the 12th Century AD, still standing strong, despite multiple attempts over the centuries by invaders to raze it down.

      Happy New Year everyone, and thank you so much for your submissions! We’ll announce the winners early next week, and have a brand new photo challenge for you to kick off 2025 with 🫶🏼

          Too late for the competition, but I took this one while waiting to board my flight back to the UK after my first holiday in Budapest for 6 years. Shot on a NP2 with no adjustments.

          Best photo of fall 2024 by my NothingPhone2

          This is one of the best pictures I’ve taken this year, and it brings back fond memories of my trip to Cornwall with my family. We had an incredible time there—it was truly one of the best trips I’ve ever experienced.

          Nature’s masterpiece. A breathtaking natural waterfall, where every drop tells a story of serenity and wonder. This place reminds us of the beauty and peace we can find when we connect with nature.
