KING FISHER

This was the best experience for me shooting this bird is such a pose and angle. Waited for 2 hours, and then nature always gifts with the best for patience. It was very tough, was trying for this shot for almost a year, and at last got the photograph I wanted. Patience is the KEY,

Fan-throated lizard

The species is found mostly on the ground in open ground patches in thin forests. This lizard is very famous for taking its throat out thus impressing its partner and displaying its dominance on his territory over other males. Timing is very important challenge as the lizard gives you only 1 second to photograph with full fan out. After every 5-10 mins, the lizard fans out for around 30 seconds. 90% there is partial fan out and 10% times it fans out fully as in image.

House crow takes on Indian Eagle Owl

The huge group of crows tirelessly circles the massive bird of prey and repeatedly lands on his head and trying to pull his tufts. I believe that this alone fellow was trying to defend bunch of crows very easily and he don’t care how many they are. “The Indian Eagle owl might be done something wrong with crows chicks so all of them were trying to chase him away ”.

Fishermen & the Sea

The fishermen know that sea is dangerous and the storm is terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore.. I took this picture at Kata Beach in Phuket, Thailand while relaxing on the beach and seeing the sun quietly setting in the horizon with its red-amber light; with fishermen coming back from the sea with their catch of the day...

Fan Throated Lizard (Male)

Fan-Throated Lizard (Male) in Suryanamaskar pose..!! (Sitana Ponticeriana) Location: Pune, India. Camera: Canon 1200D with 55-250mm lens. These Male lizards have a thin flap of skin called a gular appendage, between their throat and their abdomen which they can flap/ flash at will. Summer (May & June) is mating time for these colorful lizards. So the males put up this beautiful display to attract females when she is in his territory of 20 meters and warn off other male lizards. Normally these appendages are whitish or creamish in color, but what’s interesting is that during the breeding season in summer the males of these species develop a wonderful coloration ranging from blue-black-red. They take positions over small rocks or branches on the ground to find females and flash their brightly colored gular appendages to attract them as a signal of romance..!!

Three drops of dew

Dew is an interesting subject for photography. Post monsoon, in my locality, every morning dew sets in. When looked from real close, they present some very beautiful patterns mixed with delicacy and intricacies. I used a simple, old digital camera, Canon SD1100S in macro mode to capture these beauties from close up.
