The long awaited trip to Velvadhar Blackbuck Sanctuary and Greater Runn of Kutch (GRK) in Gujarat, India is finally over. We spent 5 days at Velavadar and then 6 days at GRK. We also spent a day at Khadir island in GRK to make some images of Flamingos. It is an amazing place and one would need a month to do some justice to that place in terms of photography.

While every place offered lots of opportunities making images was very tough. Root cause of the problem is my desire to create new visuals. While the places I visited offered opportunities to photograph different bird/mammal species between a non-ideal image of a wolf and a unique image of a cattle egret I happily settled down for the latter.

Here are a few images from the trip I processed so far which gave me some satisfaction. If you see cropped head, cut beaks, cut body, unfocussed subjects etc you can safely assume they all are by design My focus is not documentation but art and creativity.

Hope you will enjoy some of them. Plan to add more images in coming days..

Below is the link to the images !

Wild Scapes from Velavadar & Greater Runn of Kutch (GRK)

I have been doing nature photography for about 17 years now. One of the secret behind doing good work is showing only good work
Large waste basket is very essential. I have been archiving some of the images which I liked during last several years into a gallery named
personal favorites. I just realized today it touched 1000 images (roughly about 5 images a month – that may be a lot, probably I was very liberal
during earlier years)

It is interesting see how our tastes change over time during our journey of nature photography..
