Had a fun morning with Rose ringed Parakeets at home. One female sat at the edge of this rubble stone stair well and then dived down to disappear out of my frame. ImageImage
She immediately took a U turn and I found her back in my frame. Looked as if she was admiring the wall ImageImageImageImage
Slowly heading to the only hole in the wall to chew on the rubble stone edges for minerals ImageImageImageImage
The male parakeet didn’t give much of a damn about the wall…. Image
…took off from a steel pillar and headed straight for the hole in the wall. If you know where they are heading exactly then it becomes easy to capture ImageImageImageImage

Tigers love water. They need to drink lots of it in hot Indian forests and since they drink slowly they spend a long time getting their fill of water. One of the easier pictures to get of tigers are when they are drinking. This one is of Ranthambhore’s best known tiger - Machali
Here are some more pictures of tigers drinking from tightly framed head to half the body to the full body in the frame.
In a place like Ranthambhore they avoid drinking from the big lakes and prefer smaller waterholes. But IMHO some of the best pictures are of them drinking from one of the big lakes, like these two pictures

Just a random thread on photographing tigers in the wild. Rule number one - photographs are all & only about light. There are no other rules rules as such. Image
Don’t do this ever - try to stay low that all my fight is about. Why would I stand up 🤦🏽‍♂️ Stay as low as possible generally speaking. That means parking the vehicle accordingly as you can’t get lower than the floor of your vehicle Image
Eye contact is cool, approaching the camera is cool. Wait for one of the leg to move ahead - step out. Don’t ever rely on the cameras motor drive to ‘get it all’ as it can’t possibly do that. Timing is very important Image

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..
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
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

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.

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.
