Absolutely gorgeous bird! You must have had a wonderful time photographing it! I like birds with character, and this one has plenty of it.

I was thinking of the same thing while reading the essay, and then came to this sentence. Well phrased!

Precisely! Great essay, and superb photos.

In India, people who don't figure in an ancestral registry of farmers cannot buy farmland. Many of us wish we had a small patch of land somewhere, which could be developed into a tiny forest of our ...

What a delight for those slightly OCD urges! Nice composition and exposure.

The manual does not mention the tracking option. Only what is mentioned specifically should apply. Also a clue to why my eagle in flight shots taken in one of the tracking modes are always ...

#4 and #8 are pretty good. I like the wing beats of the three birds syncing.

Let me know, and we could go for a birding trip together.

This is where I live! Did you visit any birding hotspot nearby? Nice shot of the Rosy Starling in flight. The bird you couldn't identify is a Purple Sunbird. It seems it has the signs of eclipse ...

What a wonderful opportunity! Lovely light to shoot in too! Merlins are rare migrants in India, and thousands of bird watchers visit specific spots where one or two are seen every year. It’s a ...

Here's the full SOOC image of the Woodpecker, as requested by some people. Peeking through the leaves And then there's the female in close company. Here's the mate of that guy above, belly feathers ...

Thanks, it looked properly exposed on my home laptop, but underexposed on my work laptop. I guess ambient lighting is the reason. I will post the unedited original as someone has requested.

#5 is my favourite

I'm amazed how you can get such sharp BIF shots at 1/1000, even at 600mm. I'm not satisfied with 1/2000 at times, and I don't know if it's the lens's OSS that is interfering, or if there is ...

I skimmed through the article, and I'm confused - isn't the AF Tracking Sensitivity on the a6400 applicable only to Movies? If it isn't, that might be a clue about why my BIF shots have mostly ...

Thanks Morris! It's a crop, but even the full image looks good, with only the head visible among leaves.

Superb pics of the Osprey! I can never get this lucky. I have been seeing Ospreys fly by on my Sunday visits to my favourite wetland spot, but neither do they loiter long enough, nor do they try ...

Friends let friends take portrait shots without being upset. This one was systematically searching for a meal in tree trunks, along with its mate. There was a lot of obstruction, but I found an ...
