They're back


At almost exactly the same time as last year, it's uncanny!

Ok, on an entirely different note, I haven't done this in a while, so it might be time to do it again. Use this post to just say hello, tell me what you'd like more of, less of and if you think I'm getting worse/better at this. I've always been curious about who my readers are and what they might get from this blog. (Apart from the ones I already know off course).

Hello there, Natasha!

While I love all the great pictures you post here, I'm more of a 'words' person. Thus, I prefer those posts where you use your pictures to give us some interesting new information about some species or the other. When you add an evolutionary angle to the discussion, it's even better.

Your recent posts on bats and macaques were excellent. I would love to see more of those.

There you have it. And thanks for asking!

Hi Natasha,

I ended up on your page via Abi. Since then I have added your blog to my feed catcher. I like the photos. I like the explanations, musings, and speculations. I like it a lot when you have them both in a post.

Hi Abi, Thanks. You like the ones that are hard work! :) No I enjoy those too. More coming up soon.

And thanks Mogadalai. I'll try and pack in as much as I can.

Hi Natasha,
I enjoy your photographs a lot-and my family does too. I am also very partial to descriptive writing that you do beautifully-I am thinking now of your post on monsoon in Jubilee park. Happy clicking and writing-look forward to both.

While the quality of your equipment is obvious, your eye for light is even more so. Good work.

Thanks a lot!

But my equipment isn't really all that top of the line. I use a (now very beat up) D70 and one truly good lens the Nikkor 105mm macro, the other two main lenses are Sigmas! The 170-500mm and the 10-20mm. Not that good at all.

The pied kingfisher photo is made with a plastic lens, the 70-300 Nikkor G lens which cost me INR 3500, less than $100.

You can do a lot with a little as long as you try.

...which speaks to your eye for the composition and the light in it.

As to the equipment, "when I grow up", I hope to start with what you are working with!
