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.

Cold winter morning at the Kanha National Park. I purposely kept white balance to 9k, used bean bag for extra stability.

In post processing just increased contrast and vibrance.

I waited there…

Dubai at night

From 148th Floor, Burj Khalifa

The challenge was I was not allowed to use a tripod and I don’t have steady hands either. I kept ISO to the maximum and aperture to the minimum. SS was 60 at which the IBIS worked very well. I was expecting a lot of noise, but post processing took care of it, I reckon. One good thing was most of…

Brahminy Shelduck in golden light

Wanted to go as low as the bird’s eye, I was carrying beanbag, but the camera zoom ring was getting rotated for every movement of camera on beanbag. The ball head of monopod was detachable so placed that on top of the bean bag to avoid the contact of camera zoom ring with the bean bag.

Brahminy starling in action !!

Snapped at my backyard in Pune.
It was difficult to focus as the birds are very active in the morning. I tried to get birds in flight shots but with small birds its more and more difficult. And when you start loosing patience with many bad clicks , a bird comes and sits on a branch near you and cooperates with… Read more
