While I was casually looking out of the window, I saw this bird turning it’s head every few minutes. Grabbed my camera to shoot and realized that the Sun was up & bright, right behind the parakeet. So I changed the window (angle), such that I had a tree covering the Sun in the background, while the light fell on the bird from the side.
I then…

Meanwhile

Park

The view gave a flashback of similar pics in magazines.
The combination of red dress and golden yellow leaves on the ground and up on the trees was enticing enough to capture.

While shooting, I missed to check EV. It was set to -0.3 (mistake)

I post processed it in Photoshop and did auto correction. It increased the exposure by +0.36…

Dubai at night

From 148th Floor, Burj Khalifa

The challenge was I was not allowed to use a tripod and I don’t have steady hands either. I kept ISO to the maximum and aperture to the minimum. SS was 60 at which the IBIS worked very well. I was expecting a lot of noise, but post processing took care of it, I reckon. One good thing was most of…

Bamboo Pit Viper

Description / Information

This image was made in Matheran Maharashtra. This was my first ever herping trip. All vipers have heat sensing pit and Infrared sensing snakes use pit organs extensively to detect and target warm-blooded prey such as rodents and birds. I tried to showcase the pits of the viper in this image. Bamboo…

Analog and Urban
London

This picture was taken in 2009 in the St Thomas Garden on the banks of the Thames, London, UK. When I was looking for a good spot to click some shots, the fountain and the revolving torsion got my attention. Twelve years later, in 2021, I came across a photo challenge titled “Analog and Urban” in the Digital Photography…

I shot this picture on a rainy day with low light. The
deer was on the road side and I waited for it to cross and climb on a small rocky area so I could get a good eye level shot. I was happy about the wait in the end.

Philae Temple

Aswan, Egypt

The structure which was a bit away from the main temple attracted my attention. I kept a corner as the centre point of the frame so that two sides to give the image a bit of 3D perspective. As you can see one side there are hard shadows and I wanted to shoot the two sides facing the sun. But there was a waterbody…

A great image by @vibhavaringmail-com of this pair of Cheetah shot at Masai Mara. Congratulations on getting this featured in the SSP Students’ Showcase. The lovely contrast and the beautiful lighting along with the great composition is what made me shortlist it.

An Ibis silhouette

Jakkur Lake, Bengaluru

This frame of a Ibis was photographed in the early morning while it was preening itself. I always wanted to shoot a silhouette image of a Ibis against the rising sun. A high aperture number and shutter sped was used to cut out the excess light from the sun and create the silhouette. The center AF point…

The game changer Image for me!
Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve, Rajasthan, India

This is the image which made me switch from my previous brand to Sony. I was given the Sony A9 and the 400mm f2.8 to try out in the field. I had studied the various AF area modes and had experimented it before heading out for the afternoon safari.

The Tiger came head-on…
