The Masai Mara National Reserve is a wildlife sanctuary spread over 500 sq miles in western Kenya and eastern Tanzania. It is famous for the large animal migration that happens across the Mara River in which over a million wildebeest and zebra make the crossing to find better pastures. The migrating animals are closely followed by predators on land (lion, cheetah, leopard) and in the water (alligators). I spent a few days camping at Mara Mara. This is a once in a lifetime experience for those who love wildlife and photography.

I tried my hand at Black and White digital photography recently. This was at the Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA, a site known for its glorious colors. But the sun also plays a marvelous game there, especially when there are clouds in the sky. It creates light, tones and shadows, which are critical for a good B&W photograph. Here are some, which are digitally converted from color to B&W.

Sone Bhandar caves, near Rajgir, Bihar. These caves are from the 3rd or 4th century AD used by the great Jain sage Vairadeva for meditation. Legend has it that these were also used by King Bisambar to store his treasures. This would date the caves to 5th or 6th century BC.
The caretaker is a photographer's delight. I hope I was able to capture his personality in my frames.

Lodi Gardens, earlier known as Lady Willingdon Park, is a favourite urban oasis of Delhiites. It was laid out in 1936 around some magnificent tombs of the Saiyid and Lodi periods from the 15th and early 16th century and predating the Mughal empire. After India gained independence in 1947, it was renamed Lodi Gardens and in 1968 it was landscaped by JA Stein and Garrett Eckbo.

Mornings in the Lodi Gardens are busy with joggers, walkers, yoga practioners, laughter clubs and photographers like me eager to catch the soft morning sun light up the beautiful monuments. Some results here, with the technical details.

A farmer in London.
My cousin Ausaf is an engineer who lives just about 20 minutes from the hustle and bustle of Central London. He has created his own world with a small and plentiful backyard garden, a self-designed water harvesting system and an automated hen house. Organic fruit, veggies and eggs are always at hand. Here is my photo essay on this unique character.

The Khajuraho Temples are one of the World Heritage sites located in Madhya Pradesh, India. Built between 950-1050 AD by the Chandela Dynasty, these Hindu and Jain temples are famous for their architectural style and erotic sculptures. From the hundreds of pictures I took over three days in December 2014, I attach a few here. Khajuraho is a photographers delight. Since the temples face East, a visit early in the morning is important to catch the soft morning light. Enjoy!
