Recent trips

May 29th, 2007

Made 2 trips in the last 2 weeks, 1 to BR hills and the other to Bandipur. Though had to return from BR hills just in a day due to some issues, the trip was quite good.

Bandipur was pretty fruitful in terms of photography, as we got to shoot a pond terrapin, monitor lizard and some more elephants. The sad story was that we missed a leopard in 2minutes and a tiger as well in the next 5 mins. A noisy bus full of kids and bright color clothed people got to see them.

Here’s posting the pics from the BR hills trip, Bandipur coming shortly…

    Thanks…er…does your username refer to your height, because that’s my exact same identical height and I always used to say, don’t forget the half an inch!

    And where did you get that great userpic from? Musical Calvin!!

    WOW. With a 70-200, you have to get so up-close to the wilds

    I think you could achieve something closer with some post processing on the ones you posted.

    lovely pics!! I like the owls eyes, especially in the second pic and the elephant with deers in the background looks so nice and gives a wild feel :)
    am getting all nostalgic about wild life and these parks in India now. your pics remind me of my visit to Ranthambhore national park, we spotted 5 tigers :) but more than that, the experience of the safari and seeing the wild in the wild was pretty exciting. Once I get my camera equipement…will try visiting the wildlife here in the UK. I was thinkiing of going for D-40 but i think i will reconsider. (ya ya i know, camera does not matter much …as one of my frnd says )

    Well it was not meant to look very colorful and stuff, but since firefox and most browsers do not understand color profiles, I have to bump up contrast and stuff so that they don’t look dull.
