Gollum

SGNP Mumbai .

At Sanjay Gandhi national park in Mumbai , came across this baby monkey venturing on his own with the parents nearby to monitor him. What I liked about it was the resemblance it had to the character Gollum in the movie Lord of ring. The background was distracting so I changed it to get a complimentary background. The play… Read more

Leo Royale!!!!

Gir national park

On entering the Devaliya park this male lion was sleeping with no chance to get a decent pic. We stayed and spent time there with the lioness and subadult cubs . After some time he got up and posed in this royal fashion for us .

A missed opportunity is of this Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) who had aimed at the fish but couldn’t catch it. Well, I didn’t miss the opportunity to capture the water droplet trail from its beak!

I captured the photo of a Vernal Hanging Parrot while it was feeding on millets at Saswad, Maharashtra. It required a lot of patience to capture the perfect take-off shot because the parrots stay in the millet field for long periods, making it difficult to time their take-off. I wanted to capture the blues under their wings. After a couple…

The rusty shield bearer trees lining our street is the nesting ground for the egrets around monsoon times . From the window I can see them flying to their nest. One fine day I was lucky to capture it with the wings spread .

Please review

I always wanted to get this kind of shot where the subject is all surrounded by greens and this was the day I got lucky.

I could have get the clear portrait shot but I didn’t want that kind shot where there are bunch of tree branches. Hope you like the picture.

Song of life

It was a beautiful morning after rain. I spotted this prinia singing. The background was great and it was beautifully perched on the tree.

This is a very common bird but as a photographer, I like to shoot all subjects if an opportunity comes.

haven’t thought of a title yet but made this picture Feb of 2022 in Bandhavgarh national park, the same thesis was used as before in this picture where I left some place towards where the tiger was looking and tried to place the tiger’s eye on the rule of thirds so the viewer could be attracted towards the stare and the eyes of the tiger…

Here’s another photo from my Ashy Prinia series. I tried to follow all the guidelines mentioned by Sudhir Sir for selecting pictures to post on social media. However, selecting and filtering photos is proving more challenging than shooting them. Instead of using the “Spray & Pray” technique, I’m taking more time to comprehend the subject and…

Siberian stonechat male !!!

Vasai salt pan

In the open habitat at vasai salt pans , the stone chats are very common. The male is more colourful as is so often seen in bird species with sexual dimorphism. The bird sits on these branches , but fly away the moment we try to go for a closer picture . So I composed it from a comfortable distance… Read more

In my neighborhood I was roaming around looking for birds to shoot . I found this Shikra sitting on a tree branch and intently watching something. Suddenly it flew and caught the lizard and perched on the tree to finish of his meal. I was facing the Sun and there was no way I could get a good background. So I… Read more
