NatureHarmony:-

As the sun paints the Masai Mara sky with hues of dawn, the graceful silhouette of a giraffe unfolds. Its towering form is accentuated by the gentle sway of a waving tail, while birds find repose on this majestic creature. A tranquil sunrise symphony in the heart of the savannah.

A small attempt at a high key image. This rose ringed parakeet was clicked at Bharatpur. As advised by @sudhir sir for the previous post, it would have been better, had the bird been sitting sideways with its back towards me, so the plumage can be seen in its entirety. But overall, I thought this image might be a good one to try and bring out…

Embracing Dreamy Moments

Location – Calgary, Canada.

Capturing a glimpse of pure enchantment, here’s how I framed this adorable Goose Chick in the warm embrace of evening sunlight. The soft, rim-light effect highlights its fluffy form, setting the scene aglow with a touch of magic.

Getting down to eye level created an intimate connection with…

This photo was taken at Kanha National Park. I used bean bag when shooting to avoid any hand shakes. Also, an important observation instead clicking few pictures and rushing from the scene we waited for 30-40 mins. That’s when the langurs got comfortable giving better opportunities to click photos.

Unplanned movements are better than planned ones !
I went out to do astrophotography but the weather changed – clouds rolled in and it was not possible to shoot the milkyway core at all. It was early in the morning and I had driven 45KM to this beach to avoid light pollution. I was very disappointed but decided to shot under the given…

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.

Bophill falls !!!!
Meghalaya .
Situated near Dawki at the indo Bangladesh border , Bophill falls is not a very popular but extremely beautiful waterfall. The place was not very crowded . There was a wooden bridge where I mounted my camera on the tripod and made this image . In fact the tripod was so precariously placed that I dropped my camera… Read more

Today’s pic is from a vacation to Valparai in the monsoon. The streams and rivulets were full of fast flowing water. This photograph was shot from a narrow bridge as the water flowed beneath. After I set up my tripod I realised that everytime someone walked over the bridge it vibrated terribly, and vehicles would set the bridge into vibrations…

The mountains in the foreground have new grass shoots and the small stream flows down to a larger meadow. There is some snow still left on the mountain and if you look toward the left of the mountain in the middle you can see…

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…
