About The Tour

Join DCP Expeditions in association with OM SYSTEM for an unforgettable 2-day experiential Landscape & Astro Photography Expedition into the heart of the Sahyadri mountain ranges, where adventure, creativity, and imaging technology come together amidst some of Maharashtra’s most dramatic mountain landscapes. This specially curated expedition takes participants to a spectacular, lesser-known location, offering breathtaking views, pristine wilderness, and an unforgettable night under the stars.

The journey involves a medium-difficulty trek, making it suitable for participants with a reasonable level of fitness and an enthusiasm for outdoor adventure. As you traverse rugged trails and scenic ridgelines, you will encounter panoramic vistas, dramatic rock formations, and exceptional opportunities for landscape photography. Throughout the expedition, an experienced DCP Photography Mentor will provide on-field guidance on composition, exposure management, visual storytelling, and creative approaches to photographing mountain landscapes. Participants will also have the opportunity to experience OM SYSTEM cameras and lenses through hands-on field demonstrations, exploring their features and capabilities in real outdoor photography conditions.

As night falls, the experience transforms into an immersive creative photography workshop beneath the Sahyadri night sky. Participants will explore astrophotography, Milky Way photography, star trails, long-exposure techniques, light painting, and creative nightscapes, with practical guidance on camera settings, focusing techniques, exposure control, and composition. The workshop will also demonstrate how OM SYSTEM imaging technology can be used for landscape and low-light photography, encouraging participants to experiment with different photographic approaches and techniques.

Participants will enjoy an authentic outdoor camping experience in portable twin-sharing tents, surrounded by the tranquillity of the Western Ghats. Beyond photography, the expedition offers an opportunity to reconnect with nature, exchange creative ideas, and develop confidence in photographing landscapes and the night sky under actual field conditions.

Whether you are beginning your creative photography journey or looking to refine your existing skills, this DCP Expeditions and OM SYSTEM collaborative photography boot camp offers a rewarding combination of adventure, practical learning, creative exploration, and hands-on experience with advanced imaging technology in one of Maharashtra’s most scenic mountain environments.
