Thanks for your compliment Sharath. In my hundreds of safaris to the forests in Muthunga, Tholpetty, Nagarhole, Bandipur, BRT, Mudumalai this was the only time I saw one which strutted the feathers like this.

Agree with you. I like the second one a lot.

@Riju those were some awesome shots. I kept looking at it. Click away.

@ Cryus are you sure those two shots were from chail & shimla - Cause the mountains look exactly the same, the mountain on the right in the first pic looks like one on the left in the second.

@Riju
The light rays cutting through the trees....well its left me speechless dude. Awesome!!!

Meanwhile, back to macros again!

Didn't know that a Crab could look so mean, yet so amazing in its detail. Great shot man. (foot note: was it crab curry after the shoot

)

OT : Dilip how about shooting this coming weekend at the Hebbal Lake ? Just to catch the mist above the water. What say ?

redrage · 12th November 2008, 14:37

@Riju: Awesome shots again man.... Were they handheld?

Sign.... Unfortunately/Fortunately got shifted to Chennai last weekend from work. I would be coming to bangalore next weekend. Will give u a shout, hopefully we can make a meet.

Aren't these telephoto shots, the crab might take a crack at the lens if you try macro.
