First trial in 'Capturing Birds'

Date of Visit : 20 - Jan - 2013 (Winter)

Venue : Bhigwan, Solapur, Pune. 

On Saturday night (19th Jan), I've watched two back to back Telugu movies on my laptop ("Routine Love Story" & "SMS" ). At 1.00am I brushed my teeth and took a bath :P.

At 2 Am I got onto my bike and was ready to go to this crazy destination I heard just a couple of days back called - BHIGWAN to do my trail of capturing birds.

Premise : In my digital photography experiments on my own...I knew Bird Photography was one thing that is very difficult to Start with.

Simple fact is - It is a "Skillful" job. Without skill,  not even the most expensive Camera body with highest Telephoto Zoom lens(500+mm) can deliver you a decent shot.

So "SKILL" was what i kept in mind,and went ahead with my 55-250mm Lens. 

Very soon I found out that it is such a baby spoon lens in capturing Birds. :P

The place was bombarded with 100-500mm (ohh) lenses everywhere from professional photographers.

Yet I told myself, - "Focus...Focus...Show me what u've got! "

PS: Bird watching is definitely an awesome thing.!!!

I was busy clicking but still birds look 'Beautiful'.

What is this "Bhigwan" Place?

Bhigwan, a catchment area of Ujani Dam, is about 95 km from Pune on the Pune-Solapur highway (NH-9). An area of about 18000 hectares has been proposed as a sanctuary for migratory birds. The water catchment area is spread across around the town of Bhigwan. Bhigwan is an important destination and transit point for migratory waterfowl. (wiki)
