The Great Himalayan Black Bear

A Painted Stork in Flight



This picture being one of my first real attempts with a SLR camera,i think is one my best.This picture was shot at Delhi zoo using a Nikon F-50 film based SLR with a AF-Nikkor 80-200mm lens. It was a beautiful winter afternoon and there were hundreds of painted storks in the trees surrounding the lake. I was looking for a good shot of these birds,when i saw a stork taking flight from the corner of my eye, i quickly positioned my camera for the shot,adjusted the focus by approximately judging the distance of the bird and took the shot. in the end it turned out to be a really nice shot.

Camouflaged Cheetal Stag








The coat of the spotted Deer or Cheetal is such that it provides a very good camouflage with the surroundings, which is essential for there survival in the wild.

The Great White Pelican

Close Up of a Sambar Fawn




For this shot, i had a very rare opportunity of getting very close to a sambar deer in the wild.This shot was taken in Sariska wildlife sanctuary and i was using a Nikon D3000 digital SLR with a AF Nikkor 80-200mm lens.Even though a large focal lenght gave me the advantage of being able to zoom in really close to the subject, but since i was already very close to the animal i had to use a moderate focal length of 100-120mm.Though i would have been better off had i used a smaller lens but in-spite of that i think i got a good enough shot.

Portrait of a Gray Langur


This picture of a juvenile gray langur was taken during my visit to Sariska wildlife reserve. It was late afternoon and the sun was shining beautifully when i saw this langur perched upon a tree. There was a perfect blend of shadows and illumination on the langur as the light was being filtered through the leaves, which gave a nice effect to the shot.
