Hi Friends,
I'd like to share three images of different species, all taken at dusk:
1. 'Together at dusk'. Central Park, Jaipur, India. Canon G9. I could have never taken this picture, I was shooting trees, looking the other way when two people walking past pointed in the other direction. I looked behind me and saw this sight and quickly took 3-4 shots. In low light, the camera focussed on tree leaves that were in front of the Peacocks owing to which and slow shutter speed, the birds got slightly blurred. I liked the overall effect and mood, however.
2. Langur family at dusk. Jaipur, India. Canon SX10 IS (shot this as a DNG raw file thanks to CHDK). I had called it a day after an evening of shooting and was walking back home and then saw this sight. Had not kept the camera back in my bag by then and immediately took some pictures. Do not have the EXIF info with me right now but as far as I remember, took this at around 400mm equivalent focal length. They were sitting atop a three storey high building.
3. A Spotted Owlet that in silhouette looked like a part of a large tree at Central Park, Jaipur, India. Took this image with a Canon PowerShot A590 IS:
