Nilgiri Tahr (Saddleback)
It was a long time wish for me to photograph the Handsome Nilgiri Tahr (Saddleback). On the way to Chinnar WLS, we stopped at Eravikulam National park hoping for the handsome one. We reached Rajamala, and was very much glad to see many grazing. At the same time was very very much sad. There was a hell lot of mist and there was no chance of getting a shot that I was looking for. We waited there for a long time and finally the mist took a shot break giving a very soft lighting to the environment. Knowing that this was not going to last for much, I followed one which I found a bit co-operative. I took some shots which was fine, but not satisfying. Finally I had to do some prediction to where this buddy was gonna move. I found a good place, stayed there for a bit more longer when I finally got my desired posture. I was luck enough for the climate as Soon after this shot, the mist reappeared.
I was sooooooo happy to get this guy on my cam and also thank Dr. Naseer Ommer for letting me use his Canon 5D and Canon 400mm L. The result is awesome.
