My pursuit of the endangered Indian wolf led me to a small village near Bhigwan, in the Indian state of Maharashtra, called Kumbhargaon. I learned from the local residents that a few wolf packs were frequently spotted near the agricultural fields in the area. I decided to establish a camp there and spent the following days closely following these packs. On one memorable occasion, I positioned myself in a rut created by farm tractors near a freshly tilled field, aiming to capture the wolves at eye level. It was during this time that I observed three sub-adult wolves engaged in playful interactions. That is when I decided to capture a few action shots to show how boisterous these amazing creatures were.
One of my standout discoveries from a night macro walk recently, was this Botyodes moth, adorned with a distinctive white nape that's seen only in a portrait shot.

In the heart of Amboseli's vast wilderness, a defining moment unfolded one afternoon. Craig, the gentle giant of the savannah, graced the landscape with his majestic presence, his colossal form captivating all who beheld him.
As he ambled past, his massive tusks glistened in the sunlight, a testament to his strength and resilience. In a world where few big tuskers remain, Craig stood as a symbol of the importance of conservation efforts to protect these magnificent creatures.
From my vantage point, I captured Craig in all his splendor, the low angle emphasizing his immense size and stature. It was a humbling sight, a reminder of the responsibility we bear to safeguard the most intelligent animals on our planet.
In that fleeting moment, I felt a deep connection to Craig and his world. His presence stirred something within me—a sense of awe and reverence for the beauty of nature and the need to preserve it for future generations.
As Craig disappeared into the wilderness, I reflected on the privilege of witnessing such a sight. This image, frozen in time, serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of protecting these magnificent creatures and the fragile ecosystems they call home.
