This was my 4th visit to Key monastery. I had this idea of creating a shot of key monastery with milkyway in the background. After shooting sunset around 7pm we hiked down from the viewpoint, around 8:30 the sunlight had completely vanished and the night had begun. The milkyway was visible but not completely above the monastery for a good composition. Around 9:10 I created 5 bracketed shots of this frame, as the exposure was entirely different at the monastery region with lot of lights, compared to the stars behind. These 5 shots were merged in post production to create the final frame as seen here. This shot has been viral and been shared by many social media pages then.

Shot in Spiti, India, July 2019
The Veil Of Eminence
This is a collection of 7 1/1 photographs of Key Monastery which is an 11th century Tibetan Buddhist Monastery in Himachal Pradesh, India photographed over the span of 7 years from 2016-2022, by Arun Hegden.
Reaching Spiti takes 36-48 hours through treacherous roads, and a strenuous climb of 30 minutes in the cold/ dusty winds through thin air, at an altitude of 12,000 ft which is really challenging.
As a person who lived majority of my life in the tropical land, I struggled everytime reaching here, having breathlessness, mild to heavy headache, bad stomach and acid reflux.. on almost all trips.
But the photographer in me kept pushing every time as I believe as great images are made out of your comfort zones. The challenge here was to create entirely different images of same place.
I have shot the monastery in different angles, different seasons, different lighting conditions, using different sky elements to achieve the same.
