About Bird Photography
Birds: My Obsession, My Muse
If you’ve ever stopped and stared at a flamingo turning the sky pastel or tried to spot a tiny sunbird zipping through flowers, you’ll get why I’m hooked. Every bird is a surprise - loud, shy, bossy, or just plain weird. I can't help but want to show off their personalities through my camera.
The Fun (and Frustration) of Bird Photography
- Waiting is half the job. Sometimes hours just disappear while I’m hoping for that one perfect moment.
- I’m always after the real stuff - not just pretty feathers, but moments like a Pond Heron on the hunt or a Brahminy Kite cruising overhead. Capturing birds in flight still feels like magic to me.
- Those quick little guys, like a Purple Sunbird or Indian White-eye, really test my patience but I keep chasing them for that one sharp shot.
What I Shoot (and Where)
- Wetland bird photography is my jam, especially flamingos around Navi Mumbai.
- I love the drama of big raptors and the total chaos of urban birdwatching shots, like Mynas nesting in random city corners.
- My camera bag’s always ready for a road trip - from Mumbai’s wetlands to wild forests across India.
Gear Talk (for the Curious)
I use a Sony Alpha with a 200-600mm lens - good enough to catch details without scaring anyone off.
Birds are unpredictable. So are my shoots. But that’s what keeps me coming back.

My Story
Wildlife is my jam. Out there, chasing light, waiting for that perfect shot—sometimes you don’t even know what you’ve caught till you look at the pic later! Like that one time I snapped a camouflaged bird and only spotted its baby afterwards. I’ve got a soft spot for all creatures—rescued a tiny black kitten recently, and it still knows me. Whether it’s a tiger or a kitten, those moments stick with me. The wild’s got surprises, always.
My Work
Wildlife Photography - I snap everything—tigers, elephants, birds, insects, crabs. Indian Scops Owl photography is a real thrill.
Stories Behind Every Shot - Each photo’s got its own story. Sometimes it’s a hidden baby bird, sometimes a tiger close-up.
All Creatures Count - Tiny crab with a 600mm lens or a big cat walking by—every animal deserves its moment.
Patience Pays Off - Birds disappear in a blink. Waiting for that camouflaged bird shot is half the fun.
