PhotoBlog
This site also documents my return to photography, one image a day, one story at a time.
In print AGAIN, which is nice! :)
They have used it before, and it is making another appearance in the current issue of Wild Planet Magazine. A nice double page spread of my temple leopard pic... I guess I should send them more material! :)
Wilpattu National Park

Located in the Northwest coast lowland dry zone of Sri Lanka. The park is located 30 km west Anuradhapura and located 26 km north of Puttalam (approximately 180 km north of Colombo). The park is 131, 693 hectares and ranges from 0 to 152 meters above sea level. Nearly sixty lakes (Willu) and tanks are found spread throughout Wilpattu.

Prepare to be spontaneous
"Prepare to be spontaneous" is probably the most appropriate piece of advice you can give any budding photographer. But what does it mean? And how do I get prepared?
A pleasant surprise!
A (talented) photography friend, Abhiroop Ghosh Dastidar, contacted me last week via facebook sending me a link to Wild Planet Photo Magazine saying "Buddy this is yours right"? He we referring to the image of the leopard, which is indeed mine.

Day 7/7 #challengeonnaturephotography. This is my final and one of my most unique images.
5/7 Nature photography challenge
Day 5/7 #challengeonnaturephotography and something a little different for me, a snake. This is a little bronzeback tree snake I saw scurrying around the undergrowth in the Western Ghats on the boarder of Goa and Karnataka. Wildlife is everywhere in the western ghats, you just have to look! :)
