Barred Owl clicked here in Richmond, BC on same day I got hold of the great horned Owl. This was quite camouflaged as well and was hard to spot initially. This was shot after sunset, so it became even difficult for me to shoot due to not possessing a tripod and camera having a difficulty to focus. But I could manage this shot.

A low-key portrait of a Tickell’s Blue Flycatcher!! This image was shot from a hide at Tamhini Ghat, Maharashtra. Though shot during the late afternoon, the habitat gave me ample opportunities to create low-key photos. The image is post-processed in Lightroom Classic and Photoshop. I have used LRC for basic adjustments and flattening the image.…

Great Horned Owlet, clicked in Richmond, BC. First time siting this owl. It was magical. In fact I witnessed a Barred Owl again today after yesterday’s siting which was in Vancouver. Both of them (this and Barred) were sitting at least 1.5km away from each other. This particular one was extremely difficult to capture due to the clutter left…

The Indian-Paradise Flycatcher, shot at Karnala Forest, Maharashtra. I have always found it difficult to shoot subject with extreme colour spectrum. Here the flycatchers head is dark and the body is white and most of the time I get it wrong in the camera, ending up underexposing the image. I would love to hear some opinion on the same. The…

My first ever picture of a wild tiger!!
Two years ago, on the same day, I went to Bandhavgarh National Park for my first ever wildlife safari. I was really fortunate to see a tiger on the very first safari itself and that too an exclusive sighting of this shy female. We were the last Jeep and were just sitting and soaking in the forest for 2… Read more

The Silent Observer

The smaller the bird the more difficult to click it. First, spotting them is a challenge; second, they just don’t stay still!!!

This juvenile pied bush chat was pretty animated, frantically hopping from branch to branch as I tried to click it. After a few failed attempts of clicking it, I decided to put away my camera,…
