Silent Predator in the Mist
In the heart of Dhikala, Jim Corbett, I captured this hauntingly beautiful image of a Changeable Hawk-Eagle during the first light of dawn. Despite challenging conditions — low light, heavy foliage, and early morning haze — my Sony A1 paired with the 400mm f/2.8 GM lens locked focus with stunning precision, nailing the intense stare of this raptor.
The Changeable Hawk-Eagle (Nisaetus cirrhatus) lives up to its name with variable plumage and stealthy presence. An apex canopy predator, it can take down prey as large as young monkeys and large birds, and often hunts from high perches in dense forests.
What makes this bird truly special is its piercing yellow eyes and remarkable adaptability — an elusive spirit of the wild, perfectly tuned to the rhythm of the jungle.

In the golden hush of a fading afternoon, I witnessed a fleeting yet magical moment—a Rose-ringed Parakeet gracefully gliding above a ripening wheat field, carrying a stalk in its beak. The soft backlight kissed its vibrant feathers, illuminating the yellow of its tail and casting a warm glow around its wings.
I captured this frame using the Sony A1 paired with the Sony 400mm f/2.8 GM—pushing the gear in a low-light situation where the parakeet was fast, erratic, and backlit. Despite the challenging light and the bird’s rapid movement, the autofocus locked on with stunning precision, following the subject through the moment.
This shot reminds me why I chase light and motion—why I wait for that one perfect second where nature unfolds something beautiful, quiet, and wild.

Mid-Air Magic in the Jungle
High up in the trees of Kaziranga National Park, a Great Hornbill tosses a small fruit into the air with perfect timing. Its bright yellow-orange beak and casque stand out beautifully against the misty forest. I captured this amazing moment using the Sony A1 and the 400mm f/2.8 GM lens, showing the bird just before it catches the fruit in mid-air.
The Great Hornbill (Buceros bicornis) is one of the largest and most beautiful birds in Asia. It plays an important role in the forest by spreading seeds from the fruits it eats, helping trees grow. With a wingspan of nearly 5 feet, its powerful flight and loud wingbeats are unforgettable. Watching this bird in action is always special—but catching a moment like this is truly magical.

Recently, I visited Rishop to test the Sony G Master 300mm f/2.8 lens on sunbirds such as the fire-tailed sunbird, green-tailed sunbird, and many more. My primary goal was to capture these birds hovering around flowers, and I was completely speechless by the performance.
It is challenging for any camera or lens to track these tiny sunbirds while they hover, yet the Sony A1 paired with the 300mm f/2.8 G Master lens locks focus at lightning-fast speeds and tracks them as they move from flower to flower. Every shot was razor-sharp. I captured thousands of action shots and barely missed a moment. I’ll be showcasing all of this in my upcoming review video of the Sony 300mm f/2.8.
Here’s one of my favorite shots: a green-tailed sunbird hovering and drinking nectar from a flower. Despite the cloudy, low-light conditions, this combo effortlessly captured every detail.
This setup is undoubtedly one of my favorite combinations—it’s simply impressive!

In the grassland of Kaziranga, I captured a rare and powerful moment. A Royal Bengal Tiger stands between a one-horned rhino and a wild water buffalo. All three animals are calm, but their eyes speak of strength and respect. It’s a peaceful standoff between the true giants of the wild. I shot this special scene using the Sony A1 and the Sony 300mm f/2.8 GM lens.

SONY IS THE BEST!

Since last decade I have witnessed huge changes in Camera technologies. And as a techbuff as well as a reviewer I have used many different cameras and lenses from many brands.

But finally now I am extremely impressed with the Autofocus technology and artificial intelligence performance for subject detection or subject tracking of lattest Sony Alpha mirror less cameras . Recently I am testing The Sony A7IV with different Tamron lenses (made for Sony E mount) and I choose common hoope as one of my subject during my test.

As you know the head structure of a common hoopoe is not same as any other typical bird's head shape , the long beak and a long pony tail or so called the crown makes them very unique and attractive looking bird . And I must say this is a challenging scenario for an AI to identify them as a bird and track them from a very long distance.

But surprisingly the The Sony A7IV with Tamron 150-500mm detects the eyes of hoopoe with lighting speed and tracked with 100% accuracy. Also you can see the situation is challenging because the background color and the bird colors are almost matched even though most of the body part of the Bird hidden in to the grass.

I am neither a Sony ambassador nor Sony paid me for writing this but after using the Sony A7IV for last three months I've become a huge fan of Sony Alpha mirror less system and as a fan boy or as a tech lover I must this is really commendable the amount of research and development works and innovation has been put in by Sony for creating such an insane subject detection or subject tracking AI.

But don't know why most of the people are still unaware about these unique potentials of Sony Alpha cameras .

I just want say if you want to experience true mirror less system, and true Bird/Animal/human (even insects in Sony A7 RV) eye AF and effective focus tracking with pin point accuracy go for Sony Mirror less system. I am sure you will never missed your precious wildlife action moments.

this is also commendable how Tamron is improving day by day by improving their glass elements to surpass the Chromatic abbreviations, distortions, and improved the image quality. Also I have to mention the voice coil extreme linear motor af drive of Tamron which delivers lightning fast af speed and af tracking with Sony Alpha cameras.

I am making a Very detailed video specifically about this Focus tracking and subject detection of Sony A7iv and Tamron 150-500mm and 50-400mm lens. In that video I will show you so many real world examples of focusing tracking in very difficult situations and will explain How Ive become a fan of Sony and why you should switch to Sony mirror less systems. (Stay tuned for that video)

Here are some amazing action moments of Common Hoopoe and Drongo which I have captured with bird eye af On. I will show many more samples and series of photos on that video.

(All the Images were captured with the help of Sony'AF tracking option with Bird eye AF on.)
