Caught Special - 58

Participated in the International Photography Award contest conducted in Dubai recently, third year in a row. A popular and very competitive contest where several thousands participate from around the world.

The contest this year had the following four different categories against which one photo each was to be submitted.
             1) Happiness
             2) Wildlife
             3) Father and son
             4) General

Had submitted my photo entries for each one of them. Though my pictures did not get shortlisted in the contest further, I had selected the top-3 picks from my collection for all the four categories, and have shared them here. 

See the collage of all the 12 photos above. To view individual images and info about each, go to full view below.

Caught Special - 56

An Indian Sunbird once again. It is a swift and rapid and jumpy bird to be caught on camera. I was lucky that I could quickly get my camera ready when this small bird stopped by our balcony again recently! It jumped here and there for about one minute only. And I could only click it via the glass door, as I had to maximize its stay there to click my shots and avoid scaring it away! Take a look.

What: Sunbird
Where: At home 
When: 3rd January 2016, 8:20 AM
How: Canon EOS 700D, 18-55mm lens
