I made this image of the Indian Paradise Flycatcher, at Karnala Forest. The bird has just taken a dip in the pond below and was shaking the excess water off its body, tried the long exposure shot here to get the shake blurry keeping the eyes in sharp focus. Required a few tries to get the perfect shutter speed thankfully the bird obliged.…

Red Breasted flycatcher.

This was my second experience with shooting in a Hide. I am finding it a great learning experience as you get some degree of controlled environment. This allows you an opportunity to review the image and tinker with setting when bird arrives on the perch next time. Same thing happened here, on its first visit…

Crimson Back Sunbird at Ganeshgudi, Karnataka.

A very late evening shot; while most of the lot were focussed on Asian Paradise fly catcher my eyes lit up when this beautiful sunbird came and sat on this perch. I was the only one in the group who managed to get this shot as sunbirds are extremely quick and do not perch for a long time. Also,…

I was shooting tossing shots, and expecting a flying shot. Surprisingly he flew towards me. Luckily managed to get all frames, thanks to 30 fps and… Read more

Wings of fire

This one was composed in Naguvanahalli blue tailed bee eater reserve. One of the beautiful spot for observing the blue tailed bee eater behaviour. I one good thing with this place is, you can play with the light. Morning will get the backlight and evening proper golden light. As there will be enormous activity, one can easily…

The epic battle

This is shot at Saul Kere today, Aug 15, 2023.

I saw a pelican with a lot of cormorants surrounding it. At times it tried to drive them away. In one such sequence, where I was capturing the pelican trying to drive them away, i realised a cormorant had a fish in its mouth. The pelican tried to snatch but the cormorant won…

Song of life

It was a beautiful morning after rain. I spotted this prinia singing. The background was great and it was beautifully perched on the tree.

This is a very common bird but as a photographer, I like to shoot all subjects if an opportunity comes.

Indian Leopard- Picture was taken in Jawai during a safari. We had dry safaris, sightings were hard, this was due to new male coming into the territory, female shifting places and hiding the 3 cubs from the new male. Luckily Female Leopard came out to check the territory before making the next move. It was evening, sunset was happening and so…
