I see that tigress with radio collar. Anybody was tracking her with your team? Didn't see anyone carrying antenna though. |
Hello sir
The WII and project tiger is monitoring some of the tigers on a continual basis out here and we have come across their teams with antennas many times during our weekend sorties in these forests. 3 years ago when the bbc team was making documenatries we used to see the elephant trackers regularly moving along with their sophostacated equipment. I also have a pic of some of the stuff they used to make the documenatry " The spy in the Jungle"

These days the forest department does all the monitoring. Infact after fazal saab left for hyderabad, the tiger census activity has been started at Pench MP. I have been lucky to be a part of the same because of the involvement my NGO (wildcats nature club) has in this area and will share with all of you some of my experiences.

You must surely plan a trip to tadoba and pench very soon. The water table is fast going down and the tiger sightings are on the rise.

Thank you. It was indeed one of my best tiger family shots till date.
Here are some of the other shots from that trip. Some of the shots are hazy as they were shot panning while the cubs ran.

I used manual focus to get the tiger as sharp as possibe in the falling light. You can check out the exif data for the other settings that I had used . They were
iso-1600 , f7.1, 1/100, manual focus. Quote:

Thats correct. Lallan is one of the best trackers and gypsy driver that you can find at pench. We have a community development project (using ecotourism to uplift locals around the park) running with his family for the last 5 years.

The way things are going, I dont know how long tigers will be around and just might end up as pictures in books sometime in the near future. Even the pictures of the other wildlife are really well shot.
Looking forward to more from you. Keep up the good work. |

we had such a leisurely sighting that we had time to try out all these experimentations.
This is a cropped pic showing the tigress scratch marking one of the trees in her territory.
Trying a retro look
It was most amazing to note natural animal behaviour which is so similar to ours. We see the tigress rubbing her eyes before getting up.
The ridges inside her mouth is visible in this yawn. I could get a sharp pic as I was using a bean bag and fazal saab was shooting handheld.
The swaggering walk to find prey after the siesta.
Trying out an interesting composition in wideangle.
tigress in golden sunset light.
The Babies that were responsible for these wonderful shots (Canon 20D with 200-400mm telephoto zoom lens on beanbag and Nikon D200 with 18-55mm wideangle zoom)
