Birds in Flight
I have always wanted to capture moments of Birds flying. I would look at the pictures in NGC of the majestic birds soaring with their wings spread wide open or of bird landing or taking off and it would not fail to enchant me.
While i am still nowhere near capturing the soaring beauties in mid-air, i hope, i got of to a start at least with the photos below. These were taken at Ranganathittu, which arguably provides the best opportunity to capture birds for any enthusiast.

Birds of different feather flock together!
Ranganathittu
I think this picture captures Ranganathittu in a frame! Small area but occupied by unique variety of birds (and crocodiles!)
If any of you haven't visited this place, i highly recommend you do. It is just off Srirangapatnam, 120 km from Bangalore. The sanctuary is home to a large variety of birds and due to the density of the bird population, you can always find various birds flying and zipping around. The place is specially a sight to behold during the nesting season. Wasn't lucky enough to catch the season this time around. Definitely have to do a revisit in November!

Sunset at the Pier
Backwaters of Ennore
Thalankuppam is a small fishing hamlet, at the extreme north of Madras city. A river - called variously the Kourtaliayaar, Mogathwaram, Thalankuppam - meets the sea here, at Thalankuppam. At dusk you see hordes of boats taking off into the backwaters. A really nice feeling to be standing on the bridge, going into the sea, and looking back onto the backwaters.
