Part 2 of my "from start to finish" series, taking you through the planning, execution and processing of one of my shoots!

So, you know where you are going, and what you want to shoot (see #1 A shot list & location), you now need to pack and prepare accordingly!

It does not matter how good your camera is, or how much your lens costs, because without batteries and memory cards, they are worthless!

Here's a quick tip to make your nighttime sky go 'boom' with one simple trick in adobe lightroom!

Photography is expensive, so I try and take advantage of any little cash-saving tips i can (without impacting images of course).  Shoot.fr just released a great little video of what can be hacked out of IKEA goods (I miss IKEA in India). So for all you guys who can get to an IKEA...  you should check these out! :)

I like TED talks, but this one by Trey Ratcliff is great....  worth a watch! :)

Are UV filters useful for Digital Photography? Do they protect your lens? Steve Perry beats up some lenses to find out! :)

Kabini is one of my favourite wildlife destinations, and a location I have visited many times. It always has something to offer, but for me, the monsoon is a fantastic and highly underrated time to visit...  the vibrant colours and greens are sensational! It is harder to spot the big game, but when you do, wow...  the pics pop!

Knowing your subject is pivotal to meaningful wildlife photography. It makes the differences between a pretty picture and significant image. So, who better to ask about a subject than an expert.

Here I interview Dr Vicki Fishlock of the Amboseli Trust for Elephants (ATE) about her research and love for the big-eared, long nosed soap opera stars of her life! :)

Thankfully, I have never seen any real conflict, but I have seen many animals on the state highways around and running through national parks.

The coming of the monsoons in India is associated with good news, particularly with regards to the wildlife after long and difficult dry seasons. However, that is not always the case, and Assam is an example.

A disturbing story by Kalyan Varma : "When we read of man-elephant conflict , we agree that “capture” is the most logical solution. But do we know what capturing a wild elephant actually means, what it looks like, what it feels like?"
