    Harshad,

    Those are really neat looking vehicles. i can see why you use them for photography. what a view.I too would be a little worried about the tigers.Does that worry you?

    I thought that vehicle looked really familiar to me. I drive a Suzuki Sidekick which is very similar if i chopped off my roof and put in safari seats. Hmmnn.. theres a thought.

    Image I have posted is of Maruti Suzuki Gypsy ,

    Watching tigers from close quarters do not worry me much , I know them and I am sure they dont like my flesh:D

    I have seen tigers from as close as 10 feets and shooted them with 105/50mm , will dig out images and post soon

    Chris...the vehicle in Harshad's photo is a Maruti Gypsy which is made by Maruti-Suzuki..a joint venture between Maruti and Suzuki. So no wonder it looks like your SUV.

    Harshad...one good thing abt it is that it gives lower shooting angle compared to being on an elephant :-)

    I know these Suzukis, they are very reliable 4x4's, but I wonder... what about if the tigers gets hungry?
