Day 3/7 of my #challengeonnaturephotography and I am going to continue on the theme of recent images from Kabini, Karnataka. Here is one of a Langur sat up a tree... nothing special, but I really liked the autumnal colours and lighting... No matter how 'mundane' something is I am always striving to make better and better images of it, it is the only way to keep pushing yourself to improve! :)
Day 2/7 of my #challengeonnaturephotography, and another recent picture from Kabini, Karnataka, India. This time a Indian Scops owl trying to sleep! :)
#challengeonnaturephotography is doing the rounds on Facebook. The short of it is that if you are nominated you have to share a nature pic every day for a week. And every day of that week, you get to nominate another to do likewise!
Many thanks to Shreejata Gupta for nominating me for#challengeonnaturephotography and to start with (1/7) here is a recent pic I like for the following reasons:
The term 'animal' is often used by us humans to infer a lack of intelligence, empathy or even emotions. Anyone who has spent any time around animals knows that the use of this term in that context is far from the truth.
Often I see people not changing their settings to reflect the ambient light. This is crucial if you want to produce a realist photograph of what you're looking at!
One of my readers, Uday Kiran, contacted me asking me for tips on shooting very dark or black subjects (Sloth bears, Drongo's etc...), as often they are not very well focused.
Well, this is a common problem when photographing very dark subjects, and like all problems to find a solution, you need to understand the why it is occurring!
Ok, i'm using the term "news" a little loose here, as this was original posted on National Geographic site in January 2014, nearly two years ago, but I've only just come across it and I think it is awesome! The place a camera on an alligator and see what it does... :) Check out the video! :)
