Sandpiper and patience.

Shot at : Bhandup water pumping station.

Encountered this Wood Sandpiper at a saltpan near Bhandup Water Pumping Station. Initially spotted from a top angle, I managed to lower myself as much as possible. It was a bright, sunny day, and the subject was unaware of my presence as I shot from behind a tree amidst branches.…

Follow my paws

Bandhavgarh National Park, MP

In Bandhavgarh, I spotted this female tiger in the Maghdi zone. We all love tigers head-on. But it is not always the situation offers. Initially wishing, she turns her head. But she was busy patrolling and scent marking. The light was fantastic golden, and it was the side-lighting condition. Suddenly…

Post Processing – Yes, it is very powerful if you know how to use it. Take your time in going through the Lightroom course. Trust me, you will feel the difference in your images after going through it.

It has been explained in a very simple easy to understand manner.

This was shot using a Nikon D7200 and a Tamron 150-600 G2 lens.

During covid, i used to go alone to drive to a nearby lake and saw this kingfisher almost everyday. This was one such day and it decided to hunt. Flew not too high, remained stationary in the sky, only moving its wings to stay up, and then dived. It was a difficult… Read more

Dear Sudhir ,

I am watching the Birds photography class again , in the section of setting white balance. I am curios to know that if we shoot in Raw and then set the color temp in post processing does it have the same impact as that of what we setting the white balance at the the time of shooting?

Kind Regards,

Sony A1 + Sony 400mm f2.8 GM OSS
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…

Great Kiskadee
