We will be launching a evening aquatic shoot in September which will be available at several resorts here in Bora Bora. <br /> <br /> With a strong interest in underwater photography, we were thrilled to have had three of our photos make it to the World Shoot-Out onternational competition this year in the shark category, and we intend to submit more photos next year! <br /> <br /> Being slower also means we should take the time for us to enjoy Mother Nature! Life is not only about work and money, enjoying the moment is something many of us often forget.Taking photos of marine life is something I love doing, grateful to always have my wonderful <em>vahine</em> at my side. Animal photography takes patience and a good amount of luck in having the perfect situation, unlike a wedding or couple's photo shoot, we cannot create the scene or situation for the perfect shot. We love photographing sharks, over the years here we got lucky a few times with the <a href="https://gallery.boraboraphotovideo.com/boraboraprints/" target="_blank">manta rays</a>.</p><p></p><p><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50625862981_68989f12d9_c.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50625862981_68989f12d9_c.jpg?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-center" width="750" alt="50625862981_68989f12d9_c.jpg?profile=RESIZE_710x" /></a><br /> <br /> This week was time to give another try with the whales, and thanks to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Boraocean" target="_blank">@boraoceanadventures</a> , we lived a blissful moment this past Friday. <br /> <br /> While the weather was a bit rough, their boat handles very well; an excellent captain and guide made it possible to capture unique images - a photographer's dream! The conditions could not have been better; while we had rough seas on the surface, we only had to deal with a slight current, which worked to our benefit. It allowed us to drift very calmly towards a mommy humpback and her calves, and we could see looking at us once in a while, but both remained unperturbed by our presence - it was almost she was enjoying the shooting! She certainly was very calm, the young one playing around her sometime coming even closer to us; my heart was pumping, it was truly a blissful moment and a humbling experience.<br /> <br /> </p><p><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50283217533_6e2747cbf4_b.jpg" alt="50283217533_6e2747cbf4_b.jpg" /></p><p><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50283896966_45119a5c00_b.jpg" alt="50283896966_45119a5c00_b.jpg" /><br /> <br /> <br /> We will share some more photos in the near future once done editing them, but in the meantime wanted to share this moment with our followers.</p><p><br /> <br /> #photography #photographer #travel #photographer #love #adventure #whales #borabora #oceans #underwaterphotography #canon #nauticam #tahiti #video #whalewatching #humpback #humpbackwhale #underwater #frenchpolynesia #wanderlust #travelgram #ocean #polynesia #bucketlist #islandlife #southpacific</p><p></p><p>Full story <a href="https://www.boraboraphotovideo.com/blissful-moments-with-the-humpback-whales-in-bora-bora/">https://www.boraboraphotovideo.com/blissful-moments-with-the-humpback-whales-in-bora-bora/</a></p><p></p></div>Trip To Udaipurhttps://tripatini.com/profiles/blogs/trip-to-udaipur2020-07-28T17:40:37.000Z2020-07-28T17:40:37.000Zharshita khandelwalhttps://tripatini.com/members/harshitakhandelwal<div><p>I recently traveled to Udaipur- The Lake City of Rajasthan on a family trip. It was such fun and we enjoyed ourselves a lot. So, we started at night by train and reached the next early morning. We have booked our hotel and vehicle from home only. Then, we went hotel freshen up did rest and we went for the tour. It was the best two-day trip. We were first gone to Fatehsagar Lake. And there we enjoyed the view which was so beautiful. We also enjoyed the chaupati there. After that, we went to Saheliyon ki Badi. There we did guide and he told us about the place nicely. That place was full of nature and sculptures in it. Then we went to the famous Museum situated there. This Museum was very wonderful and was so big. There we enjoyed many things about people of ancient times like their lifestyle, culture, weapons, artistic things and also gained much knowledge of the history of Udaipur. we did lunch there. Then we went for Mansapurna Karni Mata temple situated at height. We reached by ropeway there we based on per person ticket which costs so cheap of Rs.70 only. There we enjoyed the beautiful view and surrounding by the ropeway. It was full of trees, water, and mountains. After that, we went to the famous lake named Lake Pichola. There did boating which costs differently according to the type which we want to do. Then we went to the Jagannath temple which was so old and beautifully constructed. Then we went to another temple named Shri Nath Dwara. So much crowd was there many tourists also come there because of its fame in Udaipur. We did darshan very well. Then from there, we did shopping also. At last, we did dinner and went to the hotel. The next day, in the morning, did breakfast and started our day by going to Shri Ekling Ji Temple. This temple has different qualities and is amazingly architected and constructed by the ruler Bappa Rawal. No photography was allowed in the temple area. It has its police inside. We went at the time of opening of the temple so it was opened by the welcoming musical instruments like dholak and shehnai. We enjoyed the temple and peace there. Then we left Udaipur and went to Chittorgarh. And there we went to Chittorgarh Fort. We first did a guide there. He charged Rs.200 to guide us. That fort was so huge and is in the vast area of around 700 acres of land. There he told about the story of fort Chittorgarh. About the King Ratansimha, Queen Padmini, Meera, Mughal Samrajay, about the battle between Allaudin Khalji and King Ratansimha, about johar, Bhimlat Kund which was formed by Bhima, and about other temples and forts in it. This fort requires around 2hrs. to visit. Then we went to Sanwariyan Seth Temple. Then we did dinner and went to the hotel and picked our luggage and bid a bye to our trip by sitting on the train.</p><p><span>It was a lovely family trip. We enjoyed it a lot and the place was also so beautiful. We enjoyed the nature and water on our whole journey. We loved the less traffic and cleanliness too. Nice place in Rajasthan to visit with little cold weather.</span></p></div>
