ISO 800, f2.8 @ 1/400

Key tip for wildlife photography:

Shoot in Aperture priority mode and keep the f-number to the lowest supported by the lens. Just play around with the ISO to get a shutter speed. This works 99% of the time.

All these elephant images have been shot…

Visited Thane Creek Flemingo sanctuary Airoli yesterday. Though not yet good, got some reasonable photos of Flamingos. It was very difficult for me to shoot in moving boat & Flamingos flying all around but thanks to tips by sir I got through all in one course.

Zone 10, Ranthambore National Reserve

We tracked this male after around 2 hours. After taking his morning nap he proceeded to finishing off his breakfast. Since he was under a canopy of trees, it provided a disfused light in contrast to harsh sunlight. As we were in close proximity, I tried getting as low as possible to get an…

Yummy evening snack
During the Covid lockdown, this Garden Lizard became a frequent visitor in the balcony and was very comfortable with me clicking its photos. The below picture is one of the sequences where I can see the funny emotions in the eyes and on face of the lizard. This one is just after some ants came climbing down from somewhere and…

The Magic of Bandhavgarh

This is a winter morning shot from the Magadhi zone of Bandhavgarh. When I did my first safari here, I realized that this place is not just about Tigers or animals. There is a lot of nature’s magic happening, especially early in the morning. So next day I went in mentally prepared to look for opportunities for the same…

I photographed this frame of a Spot Billed Pelican in the early morning. I saw the side lighting on the Spot Billed Pelican and thought of composing this frame. I went to the ground level as much as possible and waited for it to turn towards me to get the catch light on its eye. The photo was shot at…

Cold winter morning at the Kanha National Park. The golden light and deer crossing the road. I purposely kept white balance to 9k, used bean bag for extra stability.
