Almost all wild cats are ‘ambush hunters’ and #Camouflage is really important to them. I would have never spotted this leopard if he did not turn his head to look towards us

- a photo thread for #IndiAves
Same here. If this Caracal had not moved her head to show her gorgeous ‘tufted ears’ my guide would have never spotted her.
Name: सिया or Ink - गोश or ears : to make सियागोश in Hindi, their name
We had spotted this Jungle cat entering this patch of short grass and then totally lost her till she came out in the open. We are good at spotting wildlife, really good but this one played with us.
Beat this cat - ‘almost’ 10 feet long 300 kgs - and the ever alert Axis deer can’t see her. A Royal Bengal Tiger indeed 🙏
King cat when it comes to #camouflage is the awesome Snow Leopard. Right in front of you and you still can’t see them.
Predators aren’t the only ‘cats’ when it comes to #camouflage Check this Indian Muntjac or Barking deer. Predators have to spot these guys before hunting them, bloody tough job
Painted Sandgrouse chick - need I say more about #camouflage

Great fun taking pictures with the #iPhone12Pro in Ranthambhore. Didn’t take the heavy camera bag, just one phone in the shirt pocket. This is what we call the ‘Bada gate’ or the big gate.
Another perspective of the same gate
The phone shoots between 13 and 65 mm so one needs to be close to the subject, pretty close. It handles everything wide very well and has an awesome dynamic range. Much much better than any phone that I have used. In fact as good as good DSLRs in that sense.

Tiger habitat.
When I started serious photography in the year 2000, powerful telephoto lenses were kind of unaffordable for me. I had a 70-200 mm lens for a few years. I had no choice but to include a lot of habitat in my picture.
I loved shots that included a lot of habitat and still do. It adds to the feeling of wilderness.

A walk on the wild side. A very cool set of slightly wider angles pictures come out if you get a tiger on a territory marking walk. Even better if you can get them doing this on top of a plateau, when the plateaus still have some green colour.
My good friend Dr Dharmendra Khandal of @watch_tiger and I got a tigress called Arrowhead doing exactly that, a few days ago, first thing in the morning.
Even a short wall of a couple of km generates a lot of awesome wide angles. The background keeps changing fast.

Light and angle. My story.
I started serious photography 20 years ago. My first guru was a brilliant cinematographer Colin Patrick-Johnson. His take photography is all about angle, angle, angle. I use to be kicked with such pictures (Ground Hornbill) cause of low angle.
If you have an eye level angle, your subject looks normal. A higher angle like here makes your subject appear smaller. While lower angle make the subject appear larger than life.
I went for nicely front lit subjects because back then I use to think that front lighting was the best light. A few years later, I started getting bored of front lit scenes but I didn't really understand other lighting. Back to square one.
