Overview The Fujifilm X-T3 was launched in September 2018. I pre-ordered mine in silver from a local camera shop and picked it up on release day September 20, 2018. In their marketing material, Fujifim says “The X-T3 is a high performance premium camera that will become an inseparable partner in your artistic journey. Everything about…
I’ve been trying to find something to say about India for the past several weeks and I’ve just been sitting on my thoughts and ideas, mulling them over, letting them marinate because all or our experiences there have been so remarkable and life changing. Thinking about India has occupied so much of my time that…
We have had the opportunity to spend time on safari in East Africa and Central India were we’ve had the rare pleasure to see and photograph African Lions and Bengal Tiger in their natural environments. Both large cats are absolutely magnificent, they are in fact the two largest cat species alive today. An adult male…
The flight from Mumbai to Aurangabad was pleasant and we had a leisurely discussion about what do. There were quite a few sights to see and we were most interested in the Ellora Cave complex. The most remarkable aspect of the Ellora caves being the “great Kailasa”. This is a large Siva temple that was…

We had been having good luck. With the exception of our first day at Bandhavgarh, we had great tiger sightings every day. Curiously, all the tigers we had seen were female. A male tiger sighting was conspicuously missing. Thankfully that was remedied in the fading light of the last hour of our last day. He…
There was a tiger who roamed the hill top and she was a ghost. Our naturalist Partha told us that this was the tallest hill in Kanha. He said that from time to time there were paw prints that would be seen on the roads and paths that crisscross the area, the hill was rather…
Kanha National Park and Tiger Reserve was our next stop. We came to India to photograph tigers and so far we were having really good luck. Kanha was a larger park than Bandhavgarh, and with many more tigers. I also found the scenery at Kanha to be completely different. It was very diverse and beautiful….
