Animals have expressions too. How closely
these equate to our interpretation of them is a matter for debate, but there
is no doubt that they can look reflective, intelligent and happy as well as
the more usual amusing or alarming. As in many other branches of
photography, the secret is often patience.
Most people start in
natural history photography as an extension of an existing interest. The big
problem is that almost all wildlife is wary, and some of it is dangerous
too. It is all too easy to become so obsessed with getting a picture that
you fail to notice the Tiger's mate that is stalking you: it may sound
melodramatic, but it does happen, specially with scorpions and snakes.
The
outstanding riches of Indian Wildlife, which compare favorably with African
fauna, are perhaps not sufficiently realized. Tiger is the spirit of the
Indian jungle. Even his distant roar or an alarm call of some animal
announcing his presence, charges the whole environment of the Jungle with
excitement. Acute sensitivity, secretiveness and the ability to surprise;
untiring perseverance, agility in attack, the tenacity to follow and the
strength to overpower are the qualities necessary in a successful predator.
The Tiger possesses them all in extraordinary measure. He is the symbol of
India's wilderness and its National Heritage Species. His lithe majesty,
powerful muscles rippling under a tawny coat, his symmetry and mesmerizing
gaze is a tantalizing beacon to those who want to capture this unmatchable
beauty on their lens. Tiger was ruthlessly hunted during the Raj, and in the
sixties by the dealers in the fashion trade. Human encroachment upon his
habitat and the killing of his prey species further endangered his survival.
To assist in Conservation of this magnificent feline we have
joined hands with "Care for the Wild International" wherein a part
of our revenue will be donated through Care for the Wild International to
the National parks in India.
Care for the Wild International has
spent over £170,000 on vehicles and equipment, which are used to
protect wild tigers in India. Wildlife Nature Tour is an effort to create a
public awareness about this endangered species. So come and join the
movement, explore and expand your wildlife and nature photography skills and
improve the caliber of your images in the Tiger country.
