SUNDARBANS: The Mother and the Child: Jan 2015

[Saktipada Panigrahi]

Canon 550D, Canon EF 75-300mm, ISO 400, f8

[Mrudul Godbole]

A nice tender moment captured. It was very sudden when the fawn rushed to the mother and it lasted only for a minute or two. The dense vegetation in the background looks nice. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.

It is nice to see Saktipadaji shift to digital from film and adapt so fast. This is the first time he was shooting digital. I found him to be another "quick gun murugan" :D Mrudul too was rapid firing to give him company. So much so that couple of times while shooting from the boat, the boatman asked if I got the shots.

This was from the watch tower. This incident was so fast that I couldn't take out my camera and lens from the long lens case and focus and record..... :( Next time I will haul up my tripod to the watch tower and be ready for these moments. However, both Mrudul and dada were rapid firing and putting me to shame. :)

Last time we had gone in April. This time it was more green and pleasing to the eye. Along with the evening light, this scene looks nice. I wonder why the tail of the fawn is raised while feeding. I have seen it a couple of times before.
Cheers,

Lovely moment captured , slight shake is a clear evident here that how rapidly the moment happened. Canon 75-300mm is itself is non IS lens hence a higher shutter speed could have captured the image much sharper. BUT over all very well documented sir.

beautiful image...is it from left side of Sudhanyakhali watch tower!...it is very difficult to spot a deer-calf at edge of the mangrove in sundarban....

[Sabyasachi Patra]

Samrat,
This is from the left side of the Sudhanyakhali watch tower. Infact, we also sighted spotted deer fawn from the boat at the edge of mangroves between dobanki and netidhopani.
Cheers,
