“No Title” – Anything that I could come up with did NO justice to this moment and the look on Sonam’s face. I would like to get your help with this.
Safari #6…. We had a great sighting of ‘Sonam – The Telia Queen’ and her bold cub in the previous safari, which not only made our dry trip a fruitful one but saved my photography gear as well.
Having shifted to Canon a few months ago, I did multiple trips with my buddy Sridhara MG, to 3 of the Tiger reserves in Karnataka (Kabini, K Gudi and Bhadra) only to return with full battery and empty memory card.
My buddy always told the trips turned useless because of me shifting brands and did a great job in convincing me to sell the gear. Our unproductive trips became a joke at my place and my sisters used to make fun of me saying “Forget forest, animals will even vanish from Bannerghatta Zoo, if you both visit that place” and I had no counter to this. So we had a deal, if TATR doesn’t help break the jinx, then he will put my gear on OLX, the moment we start our return journey.
Back to safari details….
I am more of an owl than a crow; Safari is one of the very few things that make sunrise a happy event for me. On that particular day, we banked on the resort guyz to give us the wake-up call at 5:30am for the morning safari but we had to waking them up 6. We entered the gates around 6:20, needless to say, the last ones to enter the park that morning. With no instructions, the driver and our usual guide were well aware of the spot we wanted to go and drove us there. The scene at my favorite spot of this trip was insane, which seemed like a parking lot for safari vehicles. Not a single soul was sitting as all of them wanted to get the best view of a ‘natural history’ moment and what I saw there was beyond my imagination, let alone expectations. You naturally will not get the best spot when you enter the park so late; However, the lovely family next to our gypsy was very kind and helped me make some good images.
I am confident that there are not a lot of people who have seen this type of moment and that what makes me say ‘This is Out of the Ordinary’. A chance to make images of this ‘Natural history’ moment was nothing less than a blessing from almighty and this made the crazy 2,100kms of drive totally worth.
