Masakkali Masakkali..

This is my first serious attempt in bird photography.. i would not have ventured into it.. But thanks to this friendly Pigeon at Lalbagh. I saw this one on shoulders of a girl who was very excited and wanted me to take her photograph. Later she reluctantly left it and moved along. But this one was looking for someone else to play with!!

Comments and suggestions are most welcome!!

One from my wishlist..

I always wanted to take a Dragonfly shot with details like this one..I was lucky to get this professional model in good light condition. He repeatedly flew off, But promptly came back and sat in same location!!! 

A simple frame..

I loved simplicity of this creeper.. Water(pond) in the background gave neat bg... Thanks Murthy for showing it to me..

FLORAL ECLIPSE

ANTobatics and the FUN part!!

Shooting macro in crowded place is funny most of the times (and at times irritating too).. I was shooting this pic in Lalbagh couple of days back and few passers wondered what I was shooting.. They could not locate this Ant even after i pointed it out to them!! I could make out what they would have thought...”Hucchu aste” (nearest translation could be “Crazy fellow”) However i thoroughly enjoyed shooting and sharing this one!

Do we look like twins?

Had wonderful time in Lalbagh yesterday.. Could see lots of Butterflies. But i was finding it difficult to capture even one butterfly as they were not giving me any time to shoot.. But then my patience was paid with double dhamaka!!!

Its breakfast time..

My Niece’s first nature photograph!

My niece Anushka has come to our home for summer vacation; She is 4.5 years old and shows good interest in photography.

Though i held the camera while she clicked this pic, she was quite clear what to include in most of the other photos she clicked. Best part is that she takes me out to show where i can click some flower/insect photos in my home :)

Touch me not..

Always enjoy capturing touch me not..

Ready to take off..

This fella was ready to take off.. But nice enough to pose for about 2-3 minutes before he finally took off!! How i wish other creatures also to be as photo crazy!!

Rainwater harvesting!!!

I guess this is what humans call as Rainwater harvesting!!!
