Getting King is not easy

[Harshad Barve]

Dear all

Typical scene near grasslands and waterholes. On this day Sun was beating at 3PM , temp raising to 45 deg celcius and King was sleeping in grass. Folks from various countries were waiting for him to awake. After baking for 2 hrs male tiger woke up and show lasted for 10 mins.

So many tiger images are created by so many photographers. People travel thousands of miles to reach there and they get acclamatised with soaring tempratures , dust and spend thousands of dollars. Efforts of this gentleman paid off well as he was in best place

All comments are welcome and much appreciated

Hi Harshad Thanks for showing the behind the scene !! Never thought it would be crowded ... when I think of tigers images quiet and solitude come to mind ... so much for my perception !!!! Sweet !!!

So much patience to photograph these beautiful animals. Must be and experience of a life-time.

thanks for this inside info Harshad! I can understand that many people might not even get half the sightings you do - what sets you apart is your dedication, knowledge of your subject and the parks, and of course the amount of time your spend "hunting" tiger sightings each year...
