  • How to win competitions is a 1-hour topic of discussion which I used to do in the past. Hope I can share that someday as a webinar soon. Honestly very difficult to explain in a message here.

    Key thing is to focus on the competition guidelines and most importantly the theme. You can also check previous years winning images to get inspired.

    And again, you need to have those wow images for which you need to have a strong foundation of photography along with composition skills. Go through the courses here and you will get there.

    Hi Sudipta,

    Panning pod is not available in India. For some of the photography accessories, depending on the city, you need to contact your local dealer. Ot in Bangalore I go to FotoCircle: https://www.fotocircle.com/

    Hi Rakesh, Welcome to the SSP Community. Sony 200-600 would be a great one for wildlife and birds. Bidy – you can go for A7 IV or the latest A7 RV. A7 R III will also work.

    It is done in a lot of national parks and you typically have to pay extra to get a jeep fixed for you with the driver (and not go with the allocation by the Gypsy union). The Gypsy driver gets it done for you. Or if you book a Gypsy from the hotel/resort, they do it for you.
    And yes, generally to get this done you need to have a max of just 2 guests. Anything more they may not allow you to do and is also not feasible.
    Ranthambhore, Bandhavgarh, Kanha, Corbett, Tadoba, and a lot of parks allow you to do it. Best is to check with the respective lodges/drivers for confirmation as the park rules keep changing.

  • If you have still not purchased, go with SOny 200-600 and the A7R5. It’s a killer combination for birds and wildlife photography and no other combination comes close to it for similar budget. I used it recently during my Panna and Bandhavgarh tour and you will not regret the investment.

    Of course, all national parks across Karnataka are fully open including core. We don’t have concept of buffer safari in Karnataka.

    The buffers of almost every national park in the country are open in the monsoons. Best is to join the various Facebook groups for each park and post your query there on the sightings and booking related information.
