Shot at Bandipur National Park at around 1 in the morning.
It was so dark and quiet that every small noise made me jump. All kinds of animals (Snakes, elephants, leopards, tigers etc.) inhabit this place. Towards the end of the shot (around 2 in the morning), I almost fainted when I heard cats/wild cats crying. It was the spookiest experience I have ever had.
The flare seen on the left bottom of the frame is visible because the surface temperature of my lens dropped below the dew point and was totally wet!
Shot with the 18-200mm @ 18.
Total exposure = 1.5 hours (18 shots, 5 mins each, stacked together to reduce digital noise).
realyy a nice pic. I love this pic.
awesome snap… but change the caption!
Very nice effort dude, what did you use to stack em?
Thanks guys..
@tdmphotography : There is this small software called star trails.. Just google stacking star trails and you will find it. You could do the same in photoshop too.
Dude I know and love it well, have a look in my night photography / light painting set on flickr http://tinyurl.com/6rwu9n theres a few in there I have used it for. I love watchin em build across the screen thats my favourite bit and its much less faff and RAM demanding the CS4 😉
