Animals
have expressions too. How closely these equate to our interpretation of them
is a matter for debate, but there is no doubt that they can look reflective,
intelligent and happy as well as the more usual amusing or alarming. As in many
other branches of photography, the secret is often patience.
Most
people start in natural history photography as an extension of an existing
interest. The big problem is that almost all wildlife is wary, and some of
it is dangerous too. It is all too easy to become so obsessed with getting a
picture that you fail to notice the Tiger's mate that is stalking you: it
may sound melodramatic, but it does happen, specially with scorpions and
snakes.
The outstanding riches of Indian Wildlife, which compare
favorably with African fauna, are perhaps not sufficiently realized. Tiger
is the spirit of the Indian jungle. Even his distant roar or an alarm call
of some animal announcing his presence, charges the whole environment of the
Jungle with excitement. Acute sensitivity, secretiveness and the ability to
surprise; untiring perseverance, agility in attack, the tenacity to follow
and the strength to overpower are the qualities necessary in a successful
predator. The Tiger possesses them all in extraordinary measure. He is the
symbol of India's wilderness and its National Heritage Species. His lithe
majesty, powerful muscles rippling under a tawny coat, his symmetry and
mesmerizing gaze is a tantalizing beacon to those who want to capture this
unmatchable beauty on their lens. Tiger was ruthlessly hunted during the
Raj, and in the sixties by the dealers in the fashion trade. Human
encroachment upon his habitat and the killing of his prey species further
endangered his survival.
To
assist in Conservation of this magnificent feline we have joined hands with
"Care for the Wild International" wherein a part of our revenue will
be donated through Care for the Wild International to the National parks in
India. Care for the Wild International has spent over £170,000 on vehicles
and equipment, which are used to protect wild tigers in India.
Tiger
Photographic Safari is an effort to create a public awareness about this
endangered species. So come and join the movement, explore and expand your
