Re: PESO: Portrait

[Subash Jeyan]

as others have said, the colours, the expression, the composition and the
timing all really work together to create a beautiful frame.

and the lens seems sharp at f1.2...

GESO (5): Palakkad

[Subash Jeyan]

In june last, i applied for working from home (with a reduction in pay) and
shifted to Palakkad in the southern state of Kerala and about 550 km from
Chennai/Madras since anyway i was due for retirement this december (60
being the retirement age in India). personally, i am glad i made the
switch, I should have made it earlier, but unfortunately it needed a
pandemic for people to realise that some jobs, especially desk jobs like
editing and news print production, can be perfectly carried on at home
provided you had a good internet connection...

to cut the rambling short, here is a GESO taken during my daily walks in
Palakkad (on different days in the past one week). the first four are with
the canon g3x and the last one with pentax k5iis/pentax 18-250mm:

Re: OT GESO (20): Birding in Sikkim

thank you Alan. i thought most of them were a drab grey or brown... except
for the blue ones of course. and the red ones :)

yes, i have moved from the east to the west coast, nearer to the western
ghats (just an hour away by bike), a biodiversity hotspot. it is also a
little colder and, after 8 months, am just getting used to the relatively
colder mornings and nights...

hello, after a long time

[Subash Jeyan]

hope everyone is safe and things are going on as usual in pdml central

after some fundamental life changes due to which i had to change towns and
i was not even able to lurk for the last six months or so, i am settled in
my 'native' place in kerala and 'back' so to speak. i have been active
photographically speaking, but mostly with the nikon birding set-up and
i've a few treks and motorcycle rides in the himalayas coming up in the
months ahead on which i will hopefully be taking the k5iis.

glad to be back and though it's no use trying to catch up on the mail, i'll
give it a try...

Re: OT; I'm Tired

i am moving in the opposite direction (perhaps because i am
rather youngish at 59?). i've just sold my k3ii + sigma 150-500
(combined, 2.7kg) and got myself a nikon d500 + nikkor 200-500/5.6 (3.2
kg). i hope i survive. in case i don't, i do have the k5iis and the HD

GESO (40): Adit's DNP

[Subash Jeyan]

Adit's take on dnp:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/194589726@N02/albums/72157720229184179
he was using the KP, tokina atx 400/5.6 with the tamron 1.4x tc. he is
moving on to canon and probably will buy the 100-400 IS2 and the 90d (for
now). the good part is the tokina, which he had appropriated for himself,
will come back to me now. :)

Re: PESO: greater hoopoe lark

thank you Mark. and Dan and Larry...

the tokina was my lens. not anymore, not for the last one year or so
:). it is a sharp lens and the AF is lightning fast compared with my
sigma 150-500 OS HSM. it works well with the tamron 1.4 tc and in fact
adit never takes it off when using the tokina. it has its downsides of
course but nothing that cannot be taken care of in post...

Re: (mostly) OT GESO (7): desert national park

thank you Mark, it is an interesting place. as for the low branches
being of the same height from the ground, my guess is that  the leaves
of the tree are staple food for camels and they have been eaten away by
them...

(mostly) OT GESO (7): desert national park

[Subash Jeyan]

i and my son, along with six others had taken a birding trip last week
to desert national park, or dnp, in jaisalmer, rajasthan, in
northwest india, close to the pakistan border. 

the dnp is a rather large park, situated in the thar desert and is home
to the critically endangered great indian bustard and has rich avian
life. we got to see and photograph a wide variety of birds but they are
still in the sd card. i'll post a GESO once the photos have been
processed. meanwhile a small selection of photos taken with the mobile
last 40 km or so were on road.

[Subash Jeyan]

not something feathered! a spider called by spiny orb-weaver which is
less than 1 cm across. shot by Adit during our recent trip to

raynox dcr-250.

GESO (33): birding in the nilgiris

[Subash Jeyan]

me and my son Adit went on a birding road trip to masinagudi and
kothagiri (roughly 600 km from chennai), both in the Nilgiri Biosphere
Reserve in the Western Ghats, from january 10-16. we were dogged by
unseasonal rains in the hills and it was foggy with poor light most of
the time. but, nevertheless it was a productive trip. Photos from the
trip, mainly birds and some mammals….

Re: GESO (10): the harriers are here

[Subash Jeyan]

thanks Ann...

i looked up loggerhead shrike. i thought it looked similar to one of our
other winter migrants the great grey shrike. and sure enough, wikipedia
tells me that  the great grey shrike "forms a superspecies with its
parapatric southern relatives, the Iberian grey shrike (L.
meridionalis), the Chinese grey shrike (L. sphenocerus) and the
loggerhead shrike (L. ludovicianus). "

i have my own insurance against evil eyes ;)
