Spot billed Pelican in Ranganthittu.
Canon 550D with 70-300mm, f6.3, 1/400sec, ISO 320, Metering Mode- Evaluative.
I was standing in the boat when i clicked this image. The Pelican was very comfortable and did not get disturbed by our presence. I could have managed a better shot by going more close but i avoided to do so. I have observed one thing in Ranganthittu that the boatmen to give their respective photographers good clicks get quite close to birds. Sometimes the birds are comfortable but sometimes they get disturbed.The Boatmen to get good clicks of birds of taking off go close to the bird and make noise of the boat to make them fly. And once they take off the photographers click. These all tricks i think should not be used which disturbs the birds. They should be clicked in natural habitat only. I had warned my boatmen no to go close to any of the birds but alas he was not coming out of his habit. Still some good images i managed by continuously hammering the boatmen..
C&C welcome
Regards
