WOW is the word. The third shot of the single khur with you in the frame is mind-blowing.

I could see some mouth-watering and to kill for camera gear while you were waiting for the guide to join in. Mind detailing the gear??

It is a tough competitor for all the lambos, Ferrari out there

I hope you are not finished (though looks like that). Please share more snaps.

Great photologue, awesome work.
@Motonanu. Forgive the lambos, even an f1 car can't beat the Peregrine Falcon in top speed and acceleration. Yes, it accelerates faster than an f1 car taking off. Totally insane for a bird!!

Another one from the heaven for birders. Amazing log and excellent pictures. Loved the shots of the Imperial, Montagu and the Pallid harriers.

Just one quick check. Is it not the Steppe eagle ( the one you had mentioned as Short toed).

Do share more pictures as am sure there will be many more to come from this place.

nice...... this is more like it. Beautiful pics.


Question on tripods - I see two tripods in the pics when you are waiting in the jeep - what are those tripods and heads? Also how is the experience using tripods in Safaris when you have to shoot sitting in the gypsy?

Also - what is that big black bazooka in your last pic? I thought you only used "white" lenses?

Thank you so much for the appreciations and ratings. Wildlife photography is soul satisfying as well as frustrating. When you get your desired shot it is soul satisfying and vice versa. I wanted some typical shot of the wild ass like wild ass during sunset and the sun behind it. Despite three full day safari, i could not do it because i was busy shooting other things. Till thrid day late afternoon, i did not have a decent wild ass shot. So, being last day and i was running out of time, i got this guy and asked to stop the gyosy. I was clicking some shots and suddenly this wild ass tumblled upside down. Basically, the insects were biting him. Thats what wildlife photography.

Actually, I was flat on the ground and setting my camera while my friend got closure to the wild ass and started clicking. I saw him quite away from me. Then i got a nice perspective. When i showed him the picture he only captioned " Ek Gadha dusara Gadha ka picture le rahahe" (one Wild ass is taking pictures of another).

Thank you so much. Yes, the bird is insane. Finding her is difficult in Rann.

Thank you.
Tripod: This was my first ever trip to a place other than tiger reserve. The big tripod is of my friends and the small one is of mine.

He use the Nikon D4 and 600 F/4 with Gitzo the best tripod with the best Wimberly head. I was using a decent tripod of Manfrotto with a Manfrotto ball head. I realised, i need to change because 300 f/2.8 with 2x TC, it is little unstable.

I use Canon, i mean the white lenses. All the pictures are of my friends.

We were two, so my friend's tripod was fixed inside. I was more comfortbale keeping a bean bag on the gypsy. In LRK, one can get down and click. I wanted those ground level shots. So, we planned accordingly. I used to lie down on the ground and click. If i miss the shot, my friend used to click flying shots. Either one has to be lucky.

Here is the ground shot.

Those lenses are lovely. Can you share details of what those lenses are? How do you protect your lenses in dusty environments such as the Rann?

[sukhoi30]

Awesome pictures. I have seens a few posts on Rann of Kutch here and now I am very keen to go and see this beautiful place. Thanks for uploading these.

[swiftnfurious]

Beautiful pics! Actually the shot that is posted in the home page gives us an idea of what is in store and you don't disappoint!

Gosh, all these brilliant photographers on t-bhp really make life difficult for some of us!! I so want to go to LRK now!!

Thank you so much. Protecting lenses are difficult in those dusty conditions. Mostly, i carry a big towel to cover them up, which is handy. I did not get you exactly abot details of lenses.

600mm F4 and 300mm F2.8, boy these are some biggies. Fast primes. Agree with gd, those are mouth watering and kill for camera gear .

[ayadalam]

Excellent pictures Subrat. Great work. It would be great if you can post some of your experiences over your three day trip to add spice to the photlogue. And also may be do's and don'ts for a trip like this.

Thank you so much. The experience was great there. Generally, try to leave early as the activities are more at dawn and dusk. We used to start around 6.30 a.m. and return around 7.30 p.m. If you are going for a full day safari then carry enough water, a hat and offcourse the food being carried by the resort fellow (gypsy driver).

If you are not a avid wildlifer, then, you can comeback to your resort for lunch and then do the evening safari which we did in the first day. But, one loose lots of time.

Wow. The photos are mind blowing Subrat sir!! The Rann has left me in absolute awe. Don't know much about photography technically, but whatever you have done ( ) has fetched mind blowing results. Just love the way you have captured the wild life in your lens. Feels very alive and vivid!

Hats off!! Cheers

Thank you so much. The Rann is beautiful. Though, it is barren but produces variety of wildlife.
