Was shooting the France vs Germany Euro 2016 semi-final for the French Consulate in Bangalore...  it was a blast! The final is tonight, and I'll be shooting that too!

Last night was the leaving event for German Consul General Jörn Rohde (soon to be Ambassador in Sri Lanka). For his parting gift from the German consulate, he was presented a large print of my image! 

I've just returned from a trip to Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve with Ashish Parmer. We had the great opportunity to get up-close and personal with a sub-adult cub, while she went adventuring away from her mother and siblings.

There are always those dream sightings and pictures you want...  well I managed to tick another one of my rather large list, and it is an excellent one too...  the black panther!

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 (Willu-pattu; Land of Lakes) is a park located on the island of Sri Lanka. The unique feature of this park is the existence of "Willus" (Natural lakes) - Natural, sand-rimmed water basins or depressions that fill with rainwater. 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. Wilpattu is the largest and one of the oldest National Parks in Sri Lanka. Wilpattu is among the top national parks world-renowned for its leopard (Panthera pardus kotiya) population. The leopard population in Wilpattu is not known. [wiki]

"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?

I am back, and with a FREE GIFT for anyone who is interested! :)

Nik software image processing suit (google) is now FREE! No brainer really, even if you don't like it, you might as well try it. :)

It has taken us 4 and 1/2 years to finally make it to Jaisalmer, and it was well worth the wait!

Every gurdwara has a Langar, or kitchen, that prepares food which is given freely to anyone, no matter the gender, colour, race, religion, creed, caste, age, or social status, and in doing so, establishing equality. The food is prepared by gursikhs and an army of volunteers. The volunteers do everything from chopping, preparing and cooking. Anyone can volunteer, any one can be a part of this system, anyone can be a part of the community. 

Your Image, My Edit....  another RAW image sent to me to process and edit...  this time, it is from Laurianne Davignon, from Paris, France.
