Last week end I visited Ramanagar in southern India to see my favorite vultures. There were a few roosting there and weather was very pleasant too (for a change). The blue sky and beautifully lit vultures offered me some nice possibilities. When I saw this vulture on the edge of the cliff first backed off quite a bit to get the perspective I wanted and made a couple of images. Later I thought of diagonally balancing the blue sky with a little darker region in the frame. I found an unlit tree and its branches which offered me some possibilities. With some difficulty I could make a few images through an unlit branch such that I get a kind of natural burning effect which resulted in the image below.
Some how I tend to like this latter image a little more than the former. In field we often don’t have time to think – at least we think so!!
