The idea was to get a good greenish background, well separated from the…

Bird ID: Black-winged Stilt (Himantopus himantopus)

Seeing this Black-winged Stilt was actively foraging near the shoreline, I decided to lie down to try for eye-level shots. Though the grass patch in front wasn’t short and flat, I was confident of getting a focus on its…

As the monsoon rains drench the forests of Maharashtra, the elusive Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher makes its majestic return.

Captured from a hide deep within Karnala Bird Sanctuary on an early, rain-soaked morning, this vibrant jewel of the Western Ghats perched just long enough in the downpour for me to make this frame. The soft diffused light…

Thought of trying something Creative. I was amazed by how a lamp burns and wick don’t burn completely! its all due to Physics! capillary action and intricate details and numerous cotton fibers that burn the oil away from the wick!

During the scout in Alaska, Denali National park i had a glimpse of this bird sitting far away in the tree. From the outline i felt this was an owl! I focused my camera on it and it sure was an owl! Owls get me excited as they are not easily spotted.
The sky was cloudy that day and was perfect for making a high key image. Hence, i cracked up… Read more
