There was a time when we used to always keep our sunrise or sunset wildlife photos in their natural colour, to highlight the beautiful orange and red hues. Then it struck us that in such photos, the sun was the hero and the animals the extras. So we tried to convert these images to black and white and now we feel like the animals are the hero and the sun a stunning spotlight to showcase the animals. Do you agree?

Wildlings

The meadow had been full of grown bears doing it all week — the roaring, the standing tall, the open-palm slap — and now it was their turn. Small and undeniably cuddly, but wild without question, and completely unbothered by the distinction. The teeth are bared but the paws are gentle, one pushes and the other yields, and somewhere just off-frame their mother grazes, half-watching, knowing that every roar was once a squeak like theirs.

Our first safari was in South Africa. So was our second, and our third, and every one after that for the next five years. Then we finally went back to India, and this female tiger walked out of the treeline as if she had been waiting for us the whole time.

We had imagined what our first tiger would look like a hundred times, but no words can describe the impact she left on us as she walked past.

In taking away its distinct orange colour, we have tried to emphasise its shape and enormous power, as well as thrill we felt on seeing this, our first ever wild tiger.

What is the animal you have waited longest to see?

Towering Trident

Get into the right position, in the right spot, and you can create illusions. Illusions — of a towering trident reaching into the sky.

Which of the three giraffes do you find yourself looking at first?

Elephants are creatures of habit. Once we learned of a particular spot elephants loved to dust-bathe in before heading for a dip in the nearby lake, we started leaving camp every morning in the hope of capturing just such a frame. This elephant was in the middle of his dust bath when the moment finally happened. We wanted to compose an image that showed the sheer volume of dust they can generate — enough to obscure the elephant itself — and this moment seemed to do just that. .

There’s nothing we love better than to go out and see animals in their environment. Seeing the Arabian Oryx in Al Qudra is something we look forward to doing in the cooler months. Not long to go now.

In the setting sun, when light fades, only shapes remain. And shapes like these tell a story as old and universal as time - a story about a mother’s love, and her promise to protect, reinforced with a kiss before the cub closes its eyes to sleep.

It’s not often that we show colour on our page. In this case we felt color was an integral part of the story, because in the fading light, the sunset colors add to the mood and drama of this story. Wouldn’t you agree ?

Smell the Roses

Seeing this magnificent old timer as he calmly walked past, was simply magical! If unicorns indeed were inspired by them… it’s so easy to understand why. Unicorns maybe fictional but rhinos are not and we hope they never become so.
