I have never missed to update this blog at least once a month in the last 37months it came into existence. I haven’t written anything this month, neither have I ventured out much. So, this update. An image from archive. Not sure if the image can convey the grimacing pain this injured langur was facing.

Magical Monsoon in Bandipur
Posted in bandipur, monsoon, travel, wildlife, tagged bandipur, Karnataka, photography, tiger, travel, wild dogs, wildlife on July 6, 2010 | 92 Comments »
Monsoon is not the best time for sighting wildlife, or so is the belief. Monsoon is also not the ideal time for photography. But wildlife always throws surprises.

A Brown-fish Owl perches close to your jeep at 6:40pm, on a cloudy monsoon day. You obviously can’t expect an owl to make an appearance in bright sunlight. Wildlife photography in Indian jungles (all tropical jungles perhaps) is more challenging because of low light. So, what is the work around? One, faster lenses such as [...]
