Oriental White eye. Taken at my house in Bangalore. Tiny bird and does not stay for long. I had to preempt the shot and take a chance at pre focusing on a branch, it would land up at. Got lucky and had about a second to get a good image.

What I like about the bird – The white ring around the eye and the eye in focus on single point AF holding…

Slow paced life of a Painted Stork

I set out last weekend to practice slow shutter speed clicks instead of the regular birds in flight shots. There was a group of painted storks by a lake in Bangalore around Sunday morning 6:30.

The birds were almost filling the frame at 600mm zoom and were actively flying in and out. I positioned myself at a…

A crested Bunting in a millet field. Shot after a spell of rain in a beautiful defused light. Couldn’t have asked for a better lighting situation. In post-processing basic adjustments were done in Lightroom Classic and a bit of dodge & burn was done in Photoshop. I have used a higher shutter speed due to very windy conditions, hence have…

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 Bee Eater

“Hulimangala Lake” Bangalore, Karnataka

When I was in my regular practice of birding in the morning, caught this Bee-eater with a bee in its beak. When I saw him sitting on this perch the background was too cluttered and thought to move to other side. Finally, I got this
