Galibore Fishing Camp: Basics of Bird Photography by Sudhir

I decided to go for Bird Photography by Sudhir. This was in Galibore fishing camp on Jun 22nd and 23rd 2013. It is only 100km from Bangalore via Kanankpura. It is around 10km from Sangama. I along with 2 people (car pooling) started for Galibore at 6:45am. We got some good birds on the way itself. 

Bird photography, without a telephoto lens, is not much use. So, I rented a 100-400mm lens for this workshop.

By end of first day, I was hoping that I had a 500 / 800mm lens. The photography class was good, gave me good idea on composition and some settings I hadn't explored!!

Apart from the birds that we watched, we also got some good shots of crocodiles and a nice full moon (in low light - low color temperature - photo preset to Tungsten)


 



On 23rd morning, we went for a trek. It was a good walk with some good bird spotting. The view from the top of the hill was amazing. Also, learnt some cool camera tricks like zoom Burst.  





It was 2 days of good walking around and fun learning. Some snaps below:
