11 Nature Photography Contest Tips and Insights
I’ve been participating in nature and wildlife photography contests since 2010, and while I’ve had some success, I don’t consider myself an expert. In this video, I’ll share 11 learnings and insights from my journey that may help you, along with some key watch-outs. Wildlife and nature photography contests are highly subjective, with judges’ preferences influencing which images get selected. The process can be unpredictable, so it’s important to embrace that subjectivity and not take results personally.

Top Reasons I Choose A Zoom Lens For Capturing Wildlife
Просмотров 35628 дней назад
I've used telephoto zoom lenses for wildlife photography for about 18 years. But ever since I started wildlife photography back in 2005, I’ve dreamt of those big prime lenses-the kind you see professional photographers carrying around. I thought that getting one would instantly elevate my photography to the next level. But now that I’m finally in a position to afford one, I’ve realized that it ...
Spiny-tailed lizards : a falcon’s favourite meal
Просмотров 586Месяц назад
In this video, I'll take you to a place that will never make it onto any travel, wildlife or nature photography list, but it's still my favourite place in the world - the Gaushala. The reason I love coming here - the abundance of spiny tailed lizards. So large is its number, that the entire landscape, when observed from above, appears to be dotted with white spots - the sand that this animal ha...

From Chorla Ghats in the Mhadei Wildlife Sanctuary, we dive into the world of herping, searching for amphibians, reptiles, and anything else I can capture with my macro lens.

Wolves at Katbanwadi, near Pune
Просмотров 8282 месяца назад
Join me on an early morning trip from Pune to Kadbanwadi to look for the elusive Indian wolf. Waking up at 2 a.m. and driving for three hours was just the beginning of this journey. Kadbanwadi, a semi-arid grassland typical of the Deccan Plateau, may seem barren at first glance, but it teems with life when we look closely. Despite my tempered expectations, having not seen a wolf since 2012, thi...
Desert foxes and blackbucks at Tal Chhapar
Просмотров 3013 месяца назад
Join me on my visit to Tal Chhapar in April 2024, where my initial goal was to photograph blackbucks. However, as nature often does, Tal Chhapar had its own plans, and I spent much of my time observing the antics of desert fox pups at a den. I’ve been photographing desert fox pups since 2012, and this is by far the boldest litter of pups I’ve seen. During their two months, pups depend entirely ...
Orangutans of Borneo
Просмотров 3643 месяца назад
Join me on a wildlife photography expedition to Tanjung Puting National Park, Indonesia, to photograph Bornean Orangutans. I spent time with orangutans at rewilding camps in Tanjung Puting. Outside the camps, I captured intimate moments with Chantek and her baby, Canada, who is less than a year old. This trip was one of the best wildlife photography experiences I've had, even though it was very...
Awesome stuff, Roofy, as always! Keep going!
Macha! good to hear from you. Thank you :)
Photo contests and social media have made nature photography another competitive sport and I am of the opinion photo contests should anonymise the winners and only exhibit the winning images. That may limit the madness for name and fame a tad bit at least! Keeping the need for these contests aside, whatever you have said here makes perfect sense.
@@robovana thank you. happy some of this resonated with you. I agree with you on contests and social media taking photography to a level of competitive sport - something I didn't enjoy at all. Took me some realisation along the lines of photography being a way for me to express my fondness for nature, and putting that ahead of the demands of social media, or contests, helped me enjoy nature photography again.
Great advice bud. I'm not one for contests, but I'm sharing this vid with people just so they understand how to cultivate a healthy mindset about competitions.
Thanks! I am glad some of this resonates with you.
Excellent video footages of grassland wildlife,specially Sandas.Well done.Enjoyed the Lagger falcon visuals as they are getting rare in other parts and call of our Tittar...Thanks for sharing ,all the best .Yash, Ecocare foundation,USA

Guys your video came up in my feed. I have extensively travelled in Botswana and i live in South Africa. Any questions please get un touch. Happy to help anyway i can. Botswana is awesome
Thank you! That is super kind of you, Amol. Would you know anything about the permits needed for drones and the kind of two-way radios we're allowed to carry in Botswana?
I thought I had replied but it's gone missing. As a rule drones are not allowed in national parks. I have observed that it does affect animal behaviour too so I have never pursued trying to get permission for one. Zartek do a walkie talkie but I think they need a license in Botswana. You can get an amateur version in South Africa. The claimed line of sight range is 3-5km but in practice it's more like 1km given the landscape and habitat with trees etc
@@amolkarnik9709 thanks - yeah, so we're leaving our drones behind. Even outside of flying in Protected Areas, I think taking a drone to Botswana requires permits + visiting a local police station to submit finger prints, etc. We haven't budgeted time for that, maybe the next time.
Safe travels and good luck. Hope you get to make images to your hearts content. Look forward to the stories from this trip.
@@K15h4n04 thanks KC! I'll be making one trip to Bangalore before I leave, let's catch up if we can.
Hi Anuroop - Great footage - Thanks for sharing! I am German and will be in Tal Chhapar, in order to photograph raptors from late Sept to early Oct, perhaps see you out there somewhere! Best Frank
thanks for the kind words, Frank! Wish you the very best for Chhapar :). I am traveling to Botswana in that exact same period, so won't be in Chhapar then. But in case you have some questions on Chhapar, do write to me at anuroop.krishnan@gmail.com - and I'll help out as much as I can!
❤❤❤
🙏🙏
U helped me clear my mind bro. Good that i came accross your video
thank you :)
Wonderful video!
@@anirudhsingh9756 thank you!
Loved your video
Thank you :), glad you liked it!
Practicality in the field and technique. Those are bigger considerations than the physical qualities of a lens. Thanks for making this vid, mate.
@@SumeetMoghe 100%. And easier to carry to the field too. Thanks for your comment.
Amazing break down! I am to fan of smaller zooms , personall 70-200 f2.8 has been my go to for a bit.
@@viveks6919 one of my favorite lenses too. Just traded in my older EF lens for the RF lens - much lighter too. The 70-200 is also a great landscape lens for me :)
Lovely videos and sightings. Loved the footages of the wolves in the water :) …even for me a wolf sighting is more special as they are less then tigers which surely makes them much more special! Long live grasslands !!
Yeah - first time I saw wolves in water. And yes, long live grasslands :) . Thanks for your kind comment.
Excellent videos and presentation! Loved the intro alot…
thank you for your kind comment, glad you liked it!
Watched full, well narrated and feeling wanted to go today itself.. thanks
Thank you for your kind comment! Glad you liked the video
Amazing footage of snakes & frogs. I enjoyed watching your macro photography adventure. A big LIKE from me. I just subbed here. Greetings from Singapore.👍🔔
Thank you so much for your kind words! I was in Singapore till April 2024, I only just relocated back to India. I have a feeling we've run into each other in SBG / Sungei Buloh :/ etc - :)
my question id do you tether? when shooting with monopod for eye level bigger mammals or riggin it infront of the lizrd? if yes, what device or software u use?
I trigger remotely. For the Komodos, I use either an RF trigger (like the one I've shown on this video - ruclips.net/video/unDKUoh7JeA/видео.html) or sometimes the Canon Camera Connect App. For the monpod, I use the Canon Camera Connect - because there I need autofocus, and need to see a frame. With a wide angle (like for Komodo) - I have a good sense of the frame, so I can shoot on manual focus - and I find the RF triggers more trustworthy. The Canon Connect App keeps losing connection, so my preferred way is an RF trigger. hope this helps.
whoaaa 😮
thank you :)
you gained a new subscriber, watched all of your videos sir
Thanks for your kind words :)
loved it, i will also make a vid like you
Go for it!
@@AnuroopKrishnanPhotography i want to contact you plz give your instagram id sir
Brilliant video mate. This has to be amongst your best stories yet.
Thanks buddy!
8:08 what is babar azam doing in your video ? 😂
Great video - very informative and the narration is amazing! You made me feel bad for spiny tail lizards and how tough their lives are. And that is saying something, considering I hate lizards! 😅
Am still just as scared of lizards :). You'll be the one dealing with a gecko at home if we spot one!
I enjoyed this , Thanks.
Thank you!
nice video, what's your insta handle ? I missed herping in this year monsoon, maybe in september
Thanks! I am not on Instagram - I deleted my account in 2022 or so. I am working on a website, where I can share my images - hopefully it'll be up soon.
Rainforests really come alive during monsoons. Really seen this for the first time. This is great. 🔥
Yes, it's great to be in a rainforest during the monsoon. Thanks for your kind words :)
Goa at its best in monsoon ❤
Absolutely!
I'm still stuck with the heavy-ass bean bags. I need to adjust to the lighter bags.
As the official hand model for this channel, the workout bodes well for your arms!
Very well argued. My beanbag is filled with pellets from a hobby shop. The same stuff they use to fill bag chairs. It is very light. I usually use my tripod as a monopod. Your way of using the monopod was enlightening. I think that could work very well. I notice that Charles Glatzer uses floating pillows. It is perhaps a safer environment where he lives. I have a simple system for memory cards. My left side is for empty cards. The right side is for full cards. It works very well and has done so for many years.
Thanks for your detailed comment, I'll check out pellets from a hobby shop. And a great system for memory cards too :)
Some great insights!
Thanks buddy! We should travel together at some point!
Wow.. this video could kindle my interest in Wild life.. so very nicely done 👍 And yes, I knew almost nothing about Indian Wolves 🐺
Thank you for your kind words! So glad this rekindled some interest :)
a. The first 5 seconds of editing - Wow, you have upped your game. Kudos! b. I had no idea that wolves were elusive, so very happy for you that you saw them after 12 years! c. Major learning - I did not think of grasslands as ecosystems. They obviously are, but I did not think of them that way. This is similar to my thinking of desert ecosystems (which changed after listening to Arati Kumar Rao's talk) Totally love what you are doing Anuroop!
Thanks for your kind comments, Utsav! Glad you liked this :).
Really cool video & loads of useful info I wasn’t even aware !
Thanks Tony! Glad you liked it!
Nice!! ❤

Amazing! I'm so glad you guys could do this trip and witness everything that you did 😃
