What’s the answer to a sudden urge to just grab your camera and go shooting wildlife.. A visit to the local zoo. National Zoological Park, Delhi has a wide gamut of fauna ranging from some serious predators to colorful birds. The charismatic Royal Bengal Tiger, the burly looking Asiatic lion, the elusive white tiger are some of the biggest attractions.
I’ve been saving to get some serious gear (a full frame body and a telephoto prime) but had to content with a crop sensor body and a mediocre 70-300 VC lens. Due to limited reach pics are moderately to heavily cropped.
Coming up is a Hoolock Gibbon who was either entertaining himself (and eventually the crowd) or was so pissed off at something that he had created a cacophonous symphony. Just look at the below picture and you’ll realize what I am talking about.
Next up is the white tiger Vijay who was in news recently for killing a youth who fell into his enclosure.
The Leopard
Lazily basking in the sun is the Marsh Crocodile. Look closely and you’ll find his exposed teeth almost seem like he is smirking.
Time for some birds. First up is with beautiful plumage the Blue and Gold Macaw.
Some more exotic birds.
Some waterbirds like Pelican and painted stork.
