Shooting Animals with a Scoped Shutter

I’d like to tag this under photography as I also dedicate this to my DSLR camera, the prehistoric yet adequately perfect Nikon D3000. ‘Nikki’ as I call it has served me with amazing pictures through the span of 7 and 10/12th years.

I did lose a lot of potential amateurely perfect abstracts in a whole lot of two years of data in a SATA (internal hard disk) crash, but I have a bundle of those wildlife shots. My subject interest in photography are four and eight legged living beings; in other words, wild and domestic life.

Although I have not clicked many animals in the wild, I always have this one affiliation to animals that drives me to click more and more of them. They are more expressive by being themselves, just like a credulous wide eyed kid. For example, take a look at this primate.

The pain of being caged almost it’s entire lifetime shows in it’s eyes.

Eight legged freaks? I don’t think so.

I’m an arachnophiliac too. The common long legs and the smaller ones (comes in gold, green, camel among other colours), not the venomous and other types though.

These are few of the older pictures that I shot back in 2009-10.

Four Legged Critters

When my Nikki was at her prime before the drowning incident, she gave me brilliant pictures and some after recovery too. The camera box and some uncooked rice, a little post therapy fungus cleaning and she is back in action.

Shot back in 2010, the tiger’s acceptance to it’s own fate has taught me to live like it.

‘Shashi’ as this Leopard is dearly named by Pilikula zoo officials reflects several feline characteristics.

Apart from animal life, I also do like to click architectural marvels, flowers, random things, pictures that speak and of course, motor-vehicles. I will limit to animals on this post, more to come.

Thank you for taking the time in reading and going through the pictures. Until next time. Peace.
