A friend on Facebook asked today but where do you get to click birds in Delhi/Gurgaon. I think if we look around we can find pictures in Delhi/Gurgaon quite easily. I do not live in high rise areas and my neighborhood has trees as well. So this Indian Grey Horbill has been clicked on my…
Lazy Sunday Photo- Purple Sunbird on Bottle Brush Flowers
Yesterday was a good day. As soon as I started on my bird round I saw a lot of parrots making a huge racket. But they were really far away and I had no way to get closer to them. Then after a while, when I reached my bird lane, I saw this purple sunbird…
I am Trying to Post Daily in 2011
I got to hear about the WP Daily Post a little late. As I anyway post daily, it makes sense to join the community. So I am going to use the postaday2011. Let us see how it goes. The picture above has been taken from the passenger seat of the Skoda Yeti, didn’t realize the effect…
A Red Rose
If I have to look for file pictures of skies I look into the Spiti folder, for flowers I go to the Naldehra folder. But look at the flower again. It is full of rain drops and all I managed to click was this far away shot with hardly any emphasis on the strongest point…
Sky Watch Friday- There are No Skies Like Spiti Skies
These days the sky in the city has been just one color mostly, Grey. And for the whole week I had been fretting what am I going to post for skywatch! But then I know I still have a few pictures in store from my Spiti trip in 2007. I wish I would go there…
It is all in the Eyes
This Myna had everything going for it, it had a funky hairstyle, a great eye makeup but had no sense of lighting. Look where it decided to pose! Went to the shades, so there are shadows in the picture. However much I pleaded, it did not yield. I still like Dhaba birds as my models, they are…
The Making of the Skoda Yeti Nat Geo Gir Video
If someone had told me before the Gir trip that one day I would appear alongside a SUV in a national park and the video would be made by the National Geographic and showed on the television, I would have laughed my head off. Well, can’t do that anymore! As they say life is full of surprises. When…
The Skoda National Geographic ROWE Gir Video by Nat Geo
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOabBN5BcAo Well, never thought I would appear in a video that would have Skoda and National Geographic along with it! Gir was a fun trip for sure. Well, watch the video and enjoy.
Sparrows in the Backyard
My neighbor puts a lot of bird feed and I get to click the pictures. I wish I had the pose of the first sparrow along with the background of the second (loved that bougainvillea flowers background) but then birds are one of the worst models of the world. And yet when it comes to…
Lazy Sunday Photo- A Black Redstart Bird
I have posted a Black Redstart before but that was just the excitement of spotting a bird for the first time. But yesterday I managed to get better pictures at the same spot where I had found the Black Redstart a few weeks earlier.
