Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken in the Tadoba Tiger Reserve, Central India. While on a safari in the reserve.

Time

Late morning.

Lighting

Thick leaf cover diffused the harsh sunlight making it good for a nice background bokeh and enough light to freeze motion.

Equipment

Canon 1DX with a Canon 600mm prime telephoto lens, mounted on a gimbal head.

Inspiration

The interaction of the birds as we waited for tigers to show up. Though tigers are the star of the day, such moments are equally enchanting

Editing

Not much PP done. Lifted the shadows a bit and corrected color to adjust white balance.

In my camera bag

2 Pro SLR bodies, one with 70-200 and another with the 600 telephoto. A 24-70 for landscapes.

Feedback

Keep an eye on the surrounding forests to catch candid moments that make the wildlife interesting. Sometimes cool images come from the most common subjects and not that elusive big predator.
