Sorry dear friends for coming in so late to reply. was out shooting :) I should thank you all for giving me a great opportunity to learn all these things. without you all I would still be a frog in the well. you guys have thought me so much in bird photography and sure you guys have a big hand in making my passion a reality. I am still learning though so please dont stop teaching me.
"Kiran, It was 1984 and I was a total beginner I went looking for a Saw-Whet Owl at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn. I was so, so proud that I found one on my own. I had my 400mm lens with me and wanted to get some pix. But there was one big dead branch right in the way. I knew that this species could be quite tame and accepting so I decided to try to break the branch gently. It cracked like a rifle shot and the bird flew never to be seen again. It was the last time that I tried something like that.... Live and learn and love what is."
