As I was waiting patiently in the vehicle, listening to the frantic alarm calls of spotted deer
From within the canopy,
This beautiful tigress called Neelam, walked out and scratch-marked on a nearby fallen Sal tree.
The light was perfect, and I was awestruck by the magic.
It was a once in a lifetime sighting.
My camera is the only… Read more

Good evening all. At Delhi airport waiting for my Bangalore flight. Feels good to be back in the network.

Corbett was amazing, but heavy rains and Tiger sightings was a washout at Dhikala. But got amazing images of the original Parwali at Kalakandh in Durgadevi zone. Will be sharing the images soon.

Browsing through some amazing images…

I’ll post some pics of an apricot orchard that we visited sometime later. I shot this pic to show the scale of this region, if you look very closely toward the bottom, you can see cars parked. And then you…

Tree hopper(CowBug)
Mumbai
The frontal view of the tree hopper with their large eyes and two horn like extension gives it an alien look. They sit very steady on the leaves to get a clear picture . Manual focus on macro is quiet a challenge .

Golden Egret..

Location: Bangalore

I shot this as a high key image against the sun and the water reflecting the harsh sun at around 8 AM. It came out as an ordinary shot but the reflection was very good. So I experimented with few options in post processing. Reducing the contrast reduced the greys around the wings and made them white. Lifting…

Shot this red-legged honeycreeper on my Costa Rica photo tour with Sudhir. It was frustrating to get them in flight because of how fast they move; this was one of the few I got in focus out of the dozens I clicked.
