Hi Praveen,
Good to see you here... Lovely action captured.
Sad we guys missed this event narrowly

Hi Praveen,

Lovely. This is a great sighting. In my last trip, to Parambikulam I didn't even see a carnivore. :-(

I like the composition. It is actually difficult to get a good composition when there is more than one animal. With the dholes converging at a the centre from all sides, the composition is nice. Infact, the high view point works here.

I like the eye contact. It seems they were aware about your presence. How come this top view? In which area was this? It would have been difficult to get all of them in focus, if they were on the eye level.

What was the shutter speed, aperture and ISO. The Mark III is good in high ISOs.

I only wish the parts of the dhole in the top left corner were not visible. That would have made this image over the top. Overall, a great capture. Thanks for sharing. Look forward to more.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

this image was shot near anapady check post...max 100m frm there...infact the dogs were looking at us...we witnessed the whole even..from chase to finishing the meal....and at the end the alfa male gave us some good portraits too....i could not move an inch coz it was bit dangerous...there was a small stream between us and the wild dogs..they are actually feeding on the opposite bank of the steam...we were hiding behind the bushes...this is a full frame shot ....was exposed at 1600 iso and to get more shutter speed i under exposed by another 1.3 stops....f5.6....

Praveen,
That's Great. Now I can visualise the scene better. It would have been amazing watching this from start to finish. Look forward to the other images.
Cheers,

Great action captured. Really lucky to witness the whole event. The stares from the dholes conveys a lot. Nice composition. Look forward to see more from the series.

This kind of action 100 mts for annapady check post... my god... unbelivable....and to think that i have spent the last 2 weekends treking all around parambikulam and didnt even get a whiff of a carnivore. But then that what draws us to the wilds...the wonder of a million improbable possibilities ..... congrats, excellent image
