ELephant calf|bandipur.

Shot this image on the saturday evening last . It was a treat to watch this young calf play amidst the protection from its mother and family. Not too happy with the BG but then, didn't have a choice!

Nice action captured. The grass shreds in the air look nice. Increasing the ISO further for a higher shutter speed would have helped to freeze the motion. Did you try any horizontal compositions? Wish it was a bit more parallel to you (cant change that :-)). Thanks for sharing.

The spray is nice. Wish you were more to the left. That would have resulted in your lens parallel to the calf. Why 190mm? Unlike your previous Sigma lens, the Canon 100-400 is sharp at all focal lengths.

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

yes Sabyasachi. Realised that the 100-400 is sharp at all focal lengths. Will certainly make use of that fact next time!
