Put down the wide angle. The real magic is in the details.
The Shola forests are a humid, moss-covered ecosystem. For a macro photographer, it is a treasure chest.
What to Shoot?
- Rare Orchids: Look for tiny epiphytic orchids growing on old tree trunks.
- Moss & Ferns: The forest floor is a carpet of neon green moss with alien-like sporophytes.
- Frogs & Insects: The damp environment hosts colorful bush frogs and iridescent beetles.
Best Spots
The trekking path inside Pampadum Shola National Park. The light filtering through the canopy creates a natural soft-box effect.
