This site also documents my return to photography, one image a day, one story at a time.

One of my readers, Uday Kiran, contacted me asking me for tips on shooting very dark or black subjects (Sloth bears, Drongo's etc...), as often they are not very well focused.

From start to finish #5 - Editing
I am very much a fan of less is more for editing. I try to get the images as close to perfect IN in camera. This speeds up processing, giving me more tine behind camera and less behind a computer!

Travel - Kerala back-waters
The southern Indian costal state of Kerala is known as "gods own country", and when you visit, the lush and vibrant landscape reflects this.

This wetland paradise is great for birding, as i discovered when i visited, and you can also spot other creatures too! :) Here are a selection of my pictures for you! :)
