Clicks from Konkan

To begin with I am going to post some of my latest clicks, if I get good at blogging like others you might find me writing some stuff apart from photography, but till then all I can do is post some pics I clicked and praise them and myself lol

These ones are from my trip to good old Konkan with my friends, the pictures are taken at various locations like Harihareshwar, Shriwardhan and Diveagar.

So here we go ......

This one was clicked on the shore of Shriwardhan, Konkan Maharashtra India. The moment I reached the beach with my camera I realized that I am going to click some real good sunset pictures today, and here they are 

The entire scene looks like 100 times better than in reality, thanks to the perfect light conditions and ofcourse my favorite little D40

The next one a somewhat similar to the one I posted above but the lighting condition and my timing was not so great, so just see and feel the difference .

This might appear to be more photogenic other than the one that I posted first, but personally I like the first one over the second one. If I remember well this was the moment when the tiny fishing trawlers pulled their anchors and left into the sea for fishing.

The next click is a very simple one with no special theme or subject as such but I like it cause it looks good :) or may be me being a simple person is for simple clicks and yes this one was clicked at Harihareshwar MTDC

The next one you are about to see is clicked using my my sigma 70-300 mm, it turned out to be good without much of expectations, and was clicked on a cloudy night with no pod, thats what makes this moon rise special. this one was captured at around 7 pm, Shriwardhan beach.

This one is the last for the day, and was clicked on the way to Harihareshwar via Tamhini ghat and was clicked on the back waters of the Tata dam. This one of  my best reflection that I have ever captured. Not as good as the ones you get to see now a days but considering the location camera and a newbie photographer like me it is considerably good. 

Ranthambore Wildlife (Part 1)

Well I am not sure if this is a Kingfisher or not but as per our tour guide at Ranthambore its a Indian Kingfisher. It has comparatively shorter beak and does not have typical white color on its throat. It still dives in ponds for fishes. These birds are also found in some parts of Hariyana, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh.

Well this creature here does not need any details or explanation. This is regular wild ant which simply does not stop, it was very difficult capture this comparatively tiny creature in grassy lands, after 15 - 20 attempts I managed to capture it well even if it was running away. It appears to be still in the picture but it is not :)

This is a Scoop Owl usually founds in Rajasthan, Gujarat & Maharashtra. He was capture while he is fast asleep, funny thing about this owl is it has a yellow beak and we were told by our guide that it can eat upto 5 rats in a night. Well that's a superb apatite for a Owl.

This is a Barasingha, typically found in parts of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. This species were almost extinct during the late 80's. A special initiative was taken by the Indian wildlife division to protect these species, special breeding projects were carried out and released in the reserves. The species are considered to be stable and out of danger now. Here's a glimpse of one I managed to capture in my camera.

Nilgai found in central India can stand 4-5 feet at shoulders, and mature males can weight around 240 Kgs. Mostly they are found in small groups of 5 - 40 at a time, but I never came across any herd all the Nilgai's that I came across here in the park were solitary. Here's a snap I cliches, its not really clear neither is the Nilgai posing for the picture but still it is good considering poor lighting conditions and shy nature of the creature.
