Morning around 8.30

In Vellode bird sanctuary, Tamilnadu. I spotted a yellow-billed babbler sitting on a bench approximately 15 feet away from me. The sitting area was not ideal, so I opted for a portrait using the full focal length.

I don’t usually enjoy taking photos of birds on fences, electric lines, or rocks.However this time, I couldn’t resist capturing the moment when I noticed this Red vented bulbul perched on a rock with a fence.Within seconds, I spotted it through a gap in the leaves, appreciated the composition and clicked it.

It was at Salem at around 5…

This is an experimental shoot

On one cloudy morning ,i want to capture this bird and sun in single focus.Initially started with F 5.6, the bird was clear.Then slowly change the F number and also reduced the ISO and shutter speed accordingly.Finally got this.

It was around 7.30 am in Salem, Tamilnadu.

This munia was carrying this fine, long material for its home. It was not sitting in one place and kept roaming. Finally, sit on an electric line. I did not want to capture it with an electric line. I focus on it and wait for its flight. Once it started I got it.
