There are few views as awe-inspiring as seeing the Milky Way from a dark site. If someone unfamiliar with it sees a picture of the milky way without a terrestrial reference point, they might assume it was taken with a telescope. But the scale of the milky way is huge!

Once again in collaboration with HyTiCos I was at the Gond village of Gundala in north Telangana. The light pollution here is a Bortle 2 and allows for some beautiful views of the night sky. Read more in the Blog.

Milky Way timelapses are a timeless way to capture the natural beauty of our galaxy. Milky Way photographs, either stacked or single, can only capture a single moment in time. Whereas a timelapse can provide a real sense of how large and beautiful the band looks as it crosses the night sky in video format. Discover what gear you need, what settings to use for Milky Way time-lapse videos, and tips for how to create a time-lapse.

Continuing from last week, today is about photographing Multicoloured Star Trails on the Singalila Ridge. Late in March I had explored some dark sky sites at Nirmal, in collaboration with HyTiCos, but those were from Light Polluted areas. The Singalila Ridge in contrast is a Bortle 1 Sky which allows for some spectacular multi coloured star trails. Read to know how.

Spectacular locations often make for some spectacular photographic opportunities. These timelapses are from the Singalila Ridge - noted for its views of Kanchenjunga and Mount Everest - and feature the Kanchenjunga sleeping Buddha peaks. The Singalila National Park encompasses the ridge.

Continuing from last week, today is about photographing Star Trails at Nirmal. I explored some dark sky sites at Nirmal, in collaboration with HyTiCos, which could be leveraged for star gazing and astro photography. This location has spectacular naked eye visibility of some of the major constellations and is a prime location for Star Trails photography.

In the last week of February, in collaboration with HyTiCos, I had the opportunity to explore some areas in Telangana which could be leveraged as dark skies for star gazing and astro photography. This is a location in the district of Nirmal which has spectacular naked eye visibility of some of the major constellations and star clusters as you can see in this timelapse.

At 18 minutes past midnight we also saw and photographed a brilliant meteor which lit up the sky. In total 9 separate meteors were captured throughout the night which I have composited into a single image with the Milky Way. Read more in the Blog.

#Kingfishers are a family of small to medium-sized, brightly coloured birds in the order #Coraciiformes. They have a cosmopolitan distribution, with most species found in the tropical regions of Africa, Asia, and Oceania. The family contains 114 species and is divided into three subfamilies and 19 genera. I have been able to photograph a few of these across Asia Pacific with some coming quite easily and some coming after waiting for hours, damp and cold but worth every bit the wait. Featured here is the beautiful Common Kingfisher.

Pallas's gull, also known as the Great Black-headed Gull, is a large powerful gull of saline, brackish, and fresh water bodies. Breeding adult has a black head with a thin incomplete crescent around the eye and a red-and-black-tipped bill. Non-breeding adults retain a partial “hood” of patchy black on the back of the head.

The eye crescents and a flashing white rump help to distinguish first-winter birds from Herring-type gulls. Can be readily separated by size in any plumage from the smaller dark-headed gulls.

As is the case with many gulls, it has traditionally been placed in the genus Larus. The scientific name is from Ancient Greek. Ichthyaetus is from ikhthus, "fish", and aetos, "eagle".
