That is an extraordinary photograph! There are many different and beautiful action shots of birds in this thread (and kudos to the takers for their skill and patience) and your capture, M35, is riveting. Last edited by shashanka : 7th June 2016 at 16:02. |

Yes, I did anticipate and positioned myself very 'low' to the level of the perch ! Relatively easier to get the focus locked on their return/landing. But this one, I was lucky, especially considering that I had a 'slow' f5,6 lens attached to a TC 14E. Though slightly 'back focused', its a keeper I guess. ![]() Thanks. Patience and a bit of luck did the trick here ! | |

And to pick up an old thread - I haven't been able to find the other books of Kenneth Anderson here in the Lucknow bookshops yet. Shall keep looking! Cheers, Shashanka | |

| ![]() Took this one with the phone. Does anyone know how to get rid of the post processing in the Lumia Camera app? |

![]() Anderson's (e)books are available online for free, just Google. Or buy the hard copies from Flipkart or Amazon India. I haven't had much chance to shoot recently, been revisiting and reprocessing old shots. Here are a couple... Last kiss from the setting sun. Selective B&W processing. ![]() Wild boars on a misty morning. Shot during a canoe safari in the Satpuras. ![]() Patience and luck are so important for wildlife shooters ![]() Did you use D9 or 3D AF-C for the bee-eater shot? Btw, the wild boar shot was taken with a D810. Last edited by nilanjanray : 9th June 2016 at 16:17. | ||

Have you seen Peacocks in flight this close ? Shot from my vehicle. ![]() Last edited by M35 : 9th June 2016 at 20:31. | ||

That was another mind-bending photo, M35! I've seen pea-cocks from up close, even fed the blighters occasionally & of course seen them in short flights too. But your photograph of the one in flight (taken broad-side on) is almost unreal. Hats off! |

Ha, that would negate the impact of the final photo, would it not? Joking aside, I think I have posted it on this forum, can't remember when and where. Replace the greyscale with various shades of blue, and you can imagine the colour version. Background: I was coming down from Khuliya Top, above Munsiyari, when I saw the peaks come out from behind (and above) the clouds. Waited till the sun shone its last beams at Panchachuli I. And took the shot. I would have been close to 11,000 feet at that moment. It was getting cold, and my hands - since I wasn't wearing gloves - were cold and shivering. But...since I had driven from Bangalore in the wrong season (7000 km roadtrip, I haven't written the travelogue yet), I wanted to make the best out of whatever little window of opportunity I got. |
