Tried capturing an eye level shot of twinning pelicans landing on water surface during my recent visit to Pulicat lake. This was the maximum reach I was able to go with my lens. Looking forward for improvements and valuable feedbacks.

Pulicat lake is one of the best place for bird enthusiasts. Being an habitat for lot of migratory birds especially flamingos and pelicans, this place is a paradise for bird watchers and photographers. In my recent visit here during dry season , I spotted this vibrant group of storks.

Avadi lake, Chennai, TN

Little grebe is a variety of duck which belongs to water birds family, commonly seen in lakes. They are mostly seen diving or getting immersed into water to catch fishes. Their outer feathers have excellent water repellent characteristic similar to that of lotus leaf. I was luck enough that to go near him…

Twinning Egrets

Pallikaranai Marsh Land, TN

During my visit to Pallikaranai marsh land for bird watching, I was exploring to shoot with 70-300 mm Nikon lens and This was an quick and accidental moment when I saw 2 little egrets at flight twinning in sky. They were so far that I was only able to shoot their twinning composition. Still I feel happy…

No specific reason for 0.5 ev… from the lighting standpoint I felt this output was convincing…. 0.0 and -0.5 were giving me other mood of exposures…. Sir please do suggest me if i should have gone with different set of settings..

I used 0.0 exposure compensation and centre weighted metering option of Nikon5300… is the wrong.. should I have gone with different attributes?

Giant Indian Squirrel

Mudhumalai Tiger Reserve

It was a special moment, when I had a short walk along the bamboo trails I heard some continuous creaking noise over my top. That was the time when I noticed he was following me over the trees. He looked vibrant and highly mischievous. This was the closest I was able to click him.

This was a lucky moment when we witnessed this huge sized leopard awaiting to cross the road. I just had few seconds to quickly bring him into the camera frame. Luckily he made an eye contact with my lense.

Spotted these elephants during my trip to Mudhumalai Tiger Reserve, TN. When we entered the reserve gate early in the morning saw them standing by the road side , looking calm and composed.
