!!Upcoming King of RTR!!

T-99, RTR, June 2023

It was a rainy day and there was absolute silence everywhere and did not even spot a deer, sambar. It was an evening safari with drops of rains. We were searching for Noori with cubs but no trace. Suddenly, after an hour we found the male cub roaming inside the jungle. It was low light condition.…

It was before my enrollment in Sudhir sir’s course, I mostly used to shoot using aperture priority mode, here the cormorant was flying and as I was using aperture priority mode and with low iso of 320, shutter speed was not sufficient to capture sharp inflight image, but got a good sharp image once it landed. Enclosing the in flight image…

I shot this image of an Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher in the Karnala Forest in the Raigad district of Maharashtra. This was captured from a hide. I have captured many crisp & sharp photos from the hide, but I am sharing this one to gather opinions. The forest was very dark due to heavy rain, so I had to increase the ISO for a decent shutter…

Breakfast

This is shot at home (Kashmir) in the morning. I was watching a streaked laughing thrush collecting twigs for building it’s nest. Right then a bulbul flew and started picking this insect. I quickly moved from capturing the thrush to shoot the bulbul.

Hi, this image was taken when I was exploring Killarney National Park in Ireland with a few of my friends. We spotted a herd of deer close-by but unfortunately, the conditions were not that great for photography. There was very little light as it was a cloudy day and the deer were grazing in the dark woodland area. I positioned myself in front…

Dabble and Wabble

I have been wanting to photograph Grebes for quite long now. I regularly visit Vedanthangal Bird Sanctuary, Pallikaranai Marshland, Adyar Eco Park, and other water pockets in and around Chennai hoping to get a close-up shot of these cute wading birds, but they have been evading me until I finally found this cutie in Kumizhi Lake…

After receiving advice on my previous silhouette photo, I decided to apply it to a new image taken at the Bhigwan Bird Sanctuary. With minimal post-processing, I adjusted the white balance and tint, while also cropping and straightening the horizon. I used Photoshop to remove any distracting elements from the photo.

I don’t usually enjoy taking photos of birds on fences, electric lines, or rocks.However this time, I couldn’t resist capturing the moment when I noticed this Red vented bulbul perched on a rock with a fence.Within seconds, I spotted it through a gap in the leaves, appreciated the composition and clicked it.

It was at Salem at around 5…

Shot during the sunset at Bhigwan Bird Sanctuary from a boat, hand-held. I tried crouching as low as possible for this shot. Basic adjustments are made on Lightroom Classic. I played around with the white balance to achieve the tone and brighten the subject using the masking tool in LRC. But I wanted only the Sun in the background and the…

3 Boxes on the Pier

This photgraph was shot in the Copenhagen, Denmark. These box like structures are almost golden yellow and stand out quite brightly against the other stuff on the pier. They are mechanical enclosures of some kind. What caught my eye was the symmetery and the perfect lines of these boxes contrasting with everything else on…
