Nice photographs. The catchlight in their eyes, superb.

Redrage : Why dont you come over for one of the photo walks that happens in chennai.

Saurabh M · 24th April 2009, 20:15

Fantastic shot of the birds. Lovely. You have been able to use the right amount of light for the shots.

HappyWheels · 24th April 2009, 20:41

Thanks so much for the comments guys. Really appreciate it.

@neoranjith: I would love to, please PM me when such meets are happening. I am a member of the Photographic Society of Madras, but not much happening on the online forum there?

Off topic but you can possibly consider a tighter crop for that.

I just tried a tighter crop guess its too tight

Wonderful pictures!! I cannot stop looking at them. I cannot wait to get out of this concrete jungle, Bangalore to be precise.

Your car looks great and shining, Is it effect of the camera or polishing?

I think your signature needs to be updated with SX4.

sj_koova · 26th April 2009, 23:39

Truly amazing work with the Telephoto lens.
Did you use the 18-55mm lens for all your landscape pics?
Somehow I can't believe that the wildlife and landscape came from same 40D. Your wildlife stuff is so perfect and landscape pics are more like a P&S.
Is it the 18-55mm lens spoiling your landscape pics or you just clicked some lazy shots?

Thank you, yes i used the 18-55 mm for the landscape, the wild life pics are really good because of the L glass. the landscapes well are taken with a marumi polarizer on, i dont know if that's affecting the quality to some extent. I worked to get the maximum out of the 18-55, dint take any "lazy" shots as such.

Which pics are noticeably bad do let me know, then probably i can tell you what the reason was.

ekdam jhakaas photography!! one will hardly see such an excellent photgraphy here on this travelogues. Good that you enjoyed the trip and photography at full. Thanks for sharing tripreport and especially these excellent pictures.

Owl? Do you mean the juvenile Hawk Eagle (or did I miss any Owl picture)?

@Redrage. What are you using for post processing? Or are you using the built in JPEG engine in the camera?
The picture quality is very good. IMHO, the colours seem a bit unreal. More blue. See, if you get different set of pictures after you use a different PP software (in case you are using built in). Of course, I am assuming you shoot raw.
Now Palaniappa Estate will be in my list of places to be visited. Thanks for the great write up and excellent photography
