You never have enough zoom to get good bird shots ever...Do you....

Wow! Prashant this is beautiful!!Thanks for posting these .

I personally like number 2 and 7, from the top, the most. # 7 is truly beautiful, it has a such mysterious not to say mystical look to it, the magnificent animal looking out from his home, the woods. So quite and calm

Keep it up! :clap: :cheers:

Wow! Great pics! The first stag looks like he rules the place.... and the little fawn is too cute!

I am still unable to paste pices here, can any of you give me some tips. Only got a few flying seagulls as of now, however.

Cheers!

The fawn snap has a short story behind it. Initially when I spotted them the fawn was suckling it's mother. I tried to get as close to them (and as silently) as possible. But the mother was very alert . As I lifted my camera for that perfect snap , she was spooked. Interestingly this range also has leopards and tigers. All the animals which come in the Tiger's foodchain are really smart. What a shame it will be if we loose the tigers from our jungles.
We didn't see the KING this time but saw his pugmarks.

I had problems initially posting snaps. Would always ask my friends on IFG to do so for me. Sent u a pm on how to go about it.

esdee1972,

Upload your pics on photobucket.com or flickr.com or picasa.com

After uploading you copy and paste the "share photo" link here.

Here is a very short tutorial for photobucket

@ Prashantsingh, Will try out your idea, thanks. Which forest range is this?
@ fantumfan2003, tried it out with photobucket, the post gave a long string of URL, not the pic. (maybe I clicked the wrong buttons). Will try Picasa now.
Cheers!

Hey this thread is quite refreshing. I have a Nikon D90 and I just bought a small Nikon remote. Its great if you have your camera on a tripod and need to click away.
