In Love With Macro

Uday Hegde is a SAP Technical Architect by profession and is currently living in Bangalore. He hails from a small village called Sirsi in the North Canara District of Karnataka. He is married and has a 9-year-old son. Says Uday “I was lucky to have been born in the midst of the natural beauty of the Western Ghats which I always wanted to capture the way I see it. And it was 12 years back that I finally got that chance when I bought my first camera. At the age of eight or nine, I used to take wild shots using my dad’s old camera never knowing the perfect angle. But that got me so interested that it became my dream to buy a camera for myself when I grew up and got a job.
