Bird watching @ Manchanabele

Posted by Prashanth M (Bangalore, India) on 14 November 2006 in Landscape & Rural.

I went to Manchanabele dam (around 45 KMs from Banaglore) with my cousin Shashank. Main intention was bird watching near the water body. With no sufficient equipment to shoot, I borrowed Shashank's wide-angle lens and took some landscape shots. Shashank was busy capturing birds with his 300mm.
It was a great learning oppurtunity for me, knowing about birds. So here gets added to my list of hobbies, Bird Watching. :)

Update: Finally after a month, managed to write about the trip on my travel blog - payaniga. :)

Bird watching (and bird photos) can be lots of fun. The first time I saw a bird through a spotting scope was amazing - such clarity. I still have not been able to see them that well through my camera. 300mm is good for the larger birds but smaller ones are still hard to sneak up on at that focal length. I wish the Canon 500mm wasn't so expensive and even worse heavy!

This is a nice shot - looks like a postcard

Nice to know you have a new hobby :) Try using a polarizing filter for shots like these and see the sky become so blue especially under bright sunlight.
