The last frame that I dared to shoot before I had to retreat frantically while I was heading towards Kuri Beel watch Tower in Manas in a misty morning in early May, 2015
Canon 7D + Canon 500mm F4 + Monopod
ISO 800, 1/500, f 7.1, EC - 0.3, full frame..
WOW...head on.. Massive fella....Nice composition lovely details...Thanks for sharing.
Nice photographing samrat bhai...
Wonderful shot...through your lens.....great photography....
The 'Chaffee' tank of 1965 war moving fast to engage. Nice pose and details. I think, the habitat of Manas faced less destruction compared to killings of its Fauna and the forest always comes back to its old glory much faster. Both may be true for Manas. Did you see Pigmy Hogs? Thanks for sharing. SaktiWild
Great image capturing the power of this magnificent animal.Like the way one ear is flopping over his head.Thanks for sharing.
Liked the comparison Saktida has done with the 'tank', it does seems like it is charging towards you :). The wet look is nice. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.
This image takes me right there in its path. I love this a lot. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks a lot Prasad ji, Dheerendra, Sandipan, Shyamla ji, Shyamla ji, Mrudul ji, Shakti da and Sabyasachi da for your lovely comments..
@Shakti da
Still I have not seen Pigmy hog in Manas....
@Mrudul ji
He didn't charge us. We were heading towards Kuri Beel. Suddenly that huge male came out from thick tall grassland and approached straight to our gypsy.
