Went with a few friends to Kaziranga National Park in north east of India a week back. Currently busy processing some of the images from the trip. Kaziranga is a beautiful place. I was told that it rains during all months at Kazi. But we had ample sunshine during our stay at Kazi - I wish it rained just one day though. We were fortunate to meet Steve Winter, a National Geographic photographer at Kazi. I was just humbled by some of the images he made at Kazi (and else where). He has spent a few months now at Kazi. All I can say is creativity and meticulous planning at its best.
Lots of images to process. Hope to make a gallery just for Kaziranga images at my web site Nature Lyrics and get it up and running in a week or two - stay tuned !!

I have set up the gallery. All images I have processed so far can be seen here. I will add more images to this gallery (I am not done with the processing still).

In a week or two — a gallery…phew!( You know why this expression is for :)) ) Just can’t sit here now….want to rush to your house, barge in and stick my eye balls to your computer screen!
Am yearning….make it in phases please!

Hi Ganesh,
Usually in your images the greens are quite saturated and nice whereas in this though the mood is superb the colours seem muted. Was it intentional ? For the same exposure and light do you see a difference in the way D300 and D200 renders color ?

Mahesh, that is how grass land looks like at Kazi. The difference between D300 and D200 is mostly in white balance I guess D300’s default auto-balance is a bit cooler than what human eye perceives while D200 renders it more warmer than what human eye sees. D300 also seem to alter exposure at very low light, I am yet to understand why it does so..
