Wow, a great collection of photos! I love the colors of the butterfly shots!
ReplyDeleteyou really really rock! I loove these snaps! only disappointed i was not there while shooting them :-(
ReplyDeleteI really liked the Woolly bear Caterpillar and the Brahmini Kite! Were these shot recently?
ReplyDeleteIn delhi the heat is souring, but it looks like Bangalorians are having a pleasant time :)
@gaurav :
ReplyDeleteyes these were shot this weekend..these early morning pics can be deceptive! Bangalore is roasting too :)
Brahmini Kite & Monarch Butterfly are excellent. Awesome !!!
ReplyDeleteI think i will soon be running out of adjectives to describe ur photographs... :)
ReplyDeleteThe Butterflies were too good. It looks marvelous and striking. The snaps show the ardor in which u shoot them!!! Carry on...
Marvellous spread...The Woolly Bear Caterpillar seemed to be out of some National Geography picture gallery...I adore the butterflies...:)
ReplyDeleteWonderful macro shots. I like the insects the best, not everyone can catch them and make the pictures that clear. Well done. I hope you don't mind I was thinking of taking this last shot of a buterfly and printing it on a T shirt, it's very colourful and pretty.
ReplyDeletegood ones, great !
ReplyDeletei tried clicking some birdy shots here.
but yeh birds bohut bhava khate hain, sachhi. pose bhi nahi karte hain,
@merili : please go ahead...if u want to take a print, gimme yr mail id and i shall mail you the pic in its original size...i think blogger compresses these photos when i upload them here .
ReplyDeletehey goop. nice pics. but I dont think the butters are monarch. supposedely they dont happen in india. in any case... these are not the monarch since it not have stripes but just some blotches of black. more likely is a plain tiger

@kuku..
ReplyDeleteso the debate continues...even maka was telling me monarch's were found only in South America.
However check this link
http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/butterfly/species/Monarch.shtml
i based my assumption based on this..
i might be wrong!
-noop
I guess i was wrong. The monarch does not have the four spots on the hind wing. otherwise it looks extremely similar.
ReplyDeleteHowever one small correction. Monarchs are found in nearly all tropical and sub tropical regions including South Asia. I dont know if someone has spotted them in India though
These are very nice shots, did you find the bird in the wild?
ReplyDeletelovely lovely
ReplyDeletei loved the first pic
@wolf :
ReplyDeleteYes and no.. these were taken by the side of Hebbal lake in Bangalore. It is pretty much untouched by man so the flora and fauna have their own little den there.
amazing series...nice closed up shots wt wonderful mixed of colors:-)
ReplyDeleteNot only are the pictures amazing but your interest and knowledge of the various species is amazing as well

ReplyDelete@aparna
ReplyDeletethanks for yr nice words...where do u store yr pics?
Very nice snaps you got here! Cant comment on every post - so here are the snaps i like : The motion blur pictures are very cool, the doves in flight, the backlit heron, the roses in a bunch and the plain tiger.
ReplyDeleteMy only complaint is that most of these snaps are a little too saturated. It looks pleasing, but it doesnt look too natural.
Otherwise, a wonderful job. Keep 'em coming!
nice shots you have here. :) take care
ReplyDelete@anirudh
ReplyDeletethanks .. i realised the red was getting too saturated... the vivid setting on the S2 really does its job :)..will try and de-saturate next time
It is superb.When did u become a photographer. Woolly Bear Caterpillar is the best.Continue ur
ReplyDeletegood work.

ReplyDeleteC.B PRIYA.(chennai)
I have to say more: beautiful detail. It's very difficult to take captures on par with these. Nature photography is very difficult and your images are quite amazing. Kind regards, Brent
ReplyDeleteOk . Lets get dis straight. I guess i can go on and on praising u.
ReplyDeleteBTW. Which part of d earth do you live on? I mean ive never seen such a paradise.!!! I have seen all such stuff in my school days.It got back all those moments wen i would observe birds n insects.
Once again Amazing pics :)
