Ndutu conservation area in Tanzania is in the region where Homo sapiens first made their appearance on this play. Large wild short grass plains with some trees in between. Our guide Silas parked us facing this. It made for a nice picture…..
…..But Silas our friend and guide was not watching the vista. He found the first tree intriguing and we started driving towards it. Silas is good, really good
He drove around the tree in a huge conservation area with little tracks, an off road Mecca then. And then we realised how good Silas is.
This leopard is there in all the four pictures in this thread. Check the pictures again. Pro tip: Trust your guide as even the worst guide knows his area far better than you do. A good guide has forgotten more than we will ever learn

I have been a serious still photographer for plus 20 odd years now. For the first decade I used camera equipment made by Canon. In 2008-09 I exchanged all my Canon kit with someone for Nikon equivalents. Around 6 years ago my friend @SandeshKadur got me to start shooting videos.. Image
Shooting videos with a #Lumix - initially GH4 and then the awesome #LumixGH5 that shoots 4K on log at 10 bit on 422 - I still don’t know what it means but apparently this is the least that most broadcasters will work with. It shoots pretty decent stills though I rarely do that ImageImageImageImage
Still photography for me is #Nikon and now the awesome camera that the #iPhone has. Nikon still does not have 10 bit internal video recording. They just got it on the ‘what looks’ awesome Z9 - I need to sell some land. But the humble Lumix is bloody mind blowing ImageImageImageImage

Dhonk or Anogeissus pendula in the most important tree of Ranthambhore. A very slow growing, hard wood and highly drought resistant species. It’s small leaves start drying in early winters and are shed by the onset of summers. The leaves are great food for ungulates here.
Sambar and even Spotted deer can reach the lower branches, even if they have to stand on rear legs. Or they eat the leave that are shed on the ground. Spotted deer also follow langurs who drop a lot of leaves.
Once the Dhonk shed their leave totally by mid or end March the forest starts looking like this

There is a lake called Rajbagh in Ranthambhore national park. This. In my opinion one of the prettier parts of Ranthambhore. Adjoining the other side of the shore of this lake, behind the palace in the background is a large open flat area where you park your jeep.
It’s called very creatively ‘the platform’ - and this is the best way f all the spots in Ranthambhore for photography. The vistas are stunning in all the directions and there is a lot happening. You have a clear uninstructed view in all directions. If you look west in winters:
Towards the east there is a big patch of Vetiver or Khus grass called ‘Badi ghas’ again very creatively named. Can you see the cat?
For the panorama I have ‘stitched’ together multiple pictures shot on portrait or vertical orientation in all the pictures on this thread.

A group of tigers is called an ambush. It’s a beautiful sight. Once in a while you find an ambush in good light & it’s jackpot time for photographers. #ThePhotoHour #IndiWild
But what comes to my mind when I hear the words ‘tiger’ and ‘ambush’ in the same sentence is this - the art of stalking prey. A 250-300 kg, +9 feet long, orange coloured ‘striped’ cat goes into stealth mode for hours, if required
Once a prey is targeted, one individual - more often males, then the orange giant cat has to get close enough to get within charging distance. This often involves clearing some open patches without been no seen nor heard by any animal. Wild Cats are brilliant at it even huge ones

There is a campaign started by #RajasthanTourism & #RajasthanForests where they want you to post a selfie taken in Rajasthan’s wilderness. I am not a selfie person but let’s show them my favourite wilderness in Rajasthan - Ranthambhore. It looks stunning before dawn
Mind blowing at sunrise
Just beautiful later in the morning

Meet a tigress called Arrowhead from Ranthambhore. This picture is from 2015 when she was still a cub. Her brother Pac-Man is running behind -(I named him after a Pac-Man video game mark on his head). It’s story time
Arrowhead, Pac-Man and another sister called Lightning were born to a legendary tigress called Krishna or T19 her official number, in early 2014. The four of them crossing the ‘land bridge’ on Rajbagh lake here in summers of 2014
By the year 2016 Arrowhead had established her range around the lakes - an area gifted to her by Krishna who captured a new territory and had another litter there. The lakes were no Arrowhead’s
