Blue-headed sunbirds are small and fast. They won’t stay in the same place for long, so one needs to be quick and keep tracking as they jump from branch to branch.

It was morning around 8:00 AM with a few clouds in the sky, I had to maintain a higher shutter speed so I kept the ISO at 1600 as I was fully zoomed in at 800 mm and couldn’t go down…

This was shot in Tamhini Ghat Maharshtra

Gear: Sony A7iv and Sony 200-600mm lens
Shot at noon. But the canopy of trees helped in avoiding harsh lighting.

This was shot in Tamhini Ghat in Maharashtra. It is a couple of hours from Pune and around 3 hours from Mumbai.

This bird was spotted quite frequently at the place where I was shooting. However, the light was a challenge. This is shot in low light, but I have reduced the noise in PP while maintaining the sharpness.… Read more
