I visited Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary yesterday morning. Light was just perfect and sky was painted with beautiful cloud patterns. Lots of White Ibises flying in all directions. Seeing them I decided to make some images with different patterns of clouds as background. Wide angle lens (24mm) gave interesting perspectives of them in flight – rendered small in the frame with interesting cloud patterns providing a feel of these Ibises flying in their own universe. I used a circular polarizer to increase the impact of white clouds.
I have a few more images in my avian gallery. Larger images with black background seem to provide much better visual impact for these images. You may see them here in my avian gallery.
Lovely images Ganesh. Cloud formation seems to add a lot to the overall perspective. Looking at the cloud formations looks like an image with 12-24 @12mm might also be interesting

You are right Mahesh! Wish I carried my 12-24mm

These are class images Ganesh. I liked the second image a lot! One Ibis in the close range and another high up gives the 3rd dimension to the image!
