Arijit Banerjee: Comments: Digital Photography Review

On Review in Progress: Pentax K-5 II and K-5 II S article (70 comments in total)

I am primarily a birder. The K5 has held me in good stead, even in low light. I really look forward to the review covering the sensor of K5IIs being tested in real life (along with studio samples) - covering subjects of interest to wildlife photographers - birds and nature macros to be specific.

On baby swallows in the Birding (No BIF) challenge (3 comments in total)

Photographing chicks is totally against birding ethics. I am not voting on this.

In reply to:

RuthC: What a great shot! Congratulations, Arijit on capturing it! There is such an interesting story there. (By the way, what did happen? Surely you didn't just walk away!) Ruth :-)

Thanks Ruth. The Butterfly flew off but was snared by a Bee-eater. From one danger to another... that is nature.

On Taj In the Shadow of Night challenge (12 comments in total)

In reply to:

l_objectif: I am sorry, but this kind of themes are only for a very small group of people!... Do I have to buy a ticket to India and be there at night to participate in this challenge?... really!

All said, as on date, getting a half decent night shot of the Taj is very difficult, given the security restrictions and the horrible particulate pollution. However, on a full moon night it does look spectacular, even from afar. The lights on buildings/ streets et around the monument lead to lots of light pollution, thereby spoiling the shot. I think this challenge is a bit restrictive. We do want to see lots of nice images, don't we?
