Sambar!

I'd not shot so many Sambars together in one as trip as this one in Bandipur. I got to spend some good time with this family in evening light!

Alarm Call!

When the predators are around the first thing that a Deer does is to signal its rest of friends that there's an iminent danger around! Here is that Alarm call that tells everyone to run!

Post cards from Corbett!

It's been a while since I'd the chance to process the images from Corbett. I got a chance over the weekend. Here are some of them.

Fantastic Bandipur!

Kiran Keerthana are in India and we decided to make a trip to Bandipur together and all our MBoyz joined in. What a fun it was! While for the first time, we're making a 1 day trip to Bandipur this happened to be the most productive of all the trips! We got to see a Tigress for over half an hour and for every one of us this was a dream come true! I certainly count this one to be one of the most memorable half-an-hour spent! I wish this luck upon every one who visits forests! Here are some images from the trip!

Magical Corbett

Dhikala grasslands located in Corbett National Park is so beautiful that sometimes it makes you wonder if God created it with a paintbrush in hand. On one side is the Shivalik Himalayan range seen at the horizon of the grass land and Ramganga back waters on the other side. The picturesque grass land is home to hundreds of elephants, spotted and sambar deers and wild boars. The bigger predators like leopards and tigers when they frequent here, would surely be confused seeing the amount of food available! Where-to-start is definitely a problem for them.

Lunar Eclipse

Me and Nanda had an opportunity to take Gargi yesterday to Planetarium on the same day of Eclipse. It was fitting that she enjoyed on this occasion. Here are few images that I shot during the Eclipse.

Moon chasing another moon?

 I shot the last couple of shots initially at 100mm & then zoomed in to the moon to set the focal length at 400mm. Hence the effect. Hope you like it.

Pea fowls

This time in Bandipur, every Safari drive that we took we encountered a Pea cock dancing & impressing his partner. There's a belief that when Peafowls dance, rain is in the air. And it turned out to be that way as we'd light drizzles on and off.

Post card from Bandipur

Last weekend we made a quick dash to Bandipur hoping to see Gauri & its four cubs. There's always an excitement before you go for any trip and more so in case of visit to any Wildlife sanctuaries. That child-like excitement is what drives many of us into the wild. And this trip didn't disappoint us, as the last safari we got to see a glimpse of a Leopard.For Rakesh/Prema/Praveer and the kids, this was their first sight of Leopard. Though we couldn't get a chance to photograph them, it still lightened up our mood.

Images from Ranganathittu

Thanks to our team outing, we'd a chance to visit Nagarahole & Ranganathittu. I've finally started processing some of them & here are couple to start with.

Old ones from Bharathpur

It's been a while since I processed my older images. Perhaps caught up with too much work and I've not planned it well. Hopefully I'll be more regular now. Here are some of the shots from my visit to the one-n-only Keolodeo National Park at Bharathpur
