Flying Black Buck

[Keerthy Rajagopal]

Hello everyone,

This pic was shot on our way back from Thengumarahada. Just before this male crossed the road, a few females just ran across. It was totally hot and dry in those areas, except near the river. I hope the summer rains have cooled down these places as little bit.

I did not use full focal length, as i was trying to manual focus witha a little less zoom. My AF motor broke, and didnt get it serviced. Now i started enjoying manual focus.
