have expressions too. How closely these equate tour interpretation of them is
a matter for debate, but there is no doubt that they can look reflective, intelligent
and happy as well as the more usual amusing or alarming. As in many other branches
of photography, the secret is often patience.
Most people start in natural history photography as an extension of an existing
interest. The big problem is that almost all wildlife is wary, and some of it
is dangerous too. It is all too easy to become so obsessed with getting a picture
that you fail to notice the Tiger's mate that is stalking you: it may sound
melodramatic, but it does happen, specially with scorpions and snakes.
The outstanding riches of Indian Wildlife, which compare favorably with African
fauna, are perhaps not sufficiently realized. Tiger is the spirit of the Indian
jungle. Even his distant roar or an alarm call of some animal announcing his
presence, charges the whole environment of the Jungle with excitement. Acute
sensitivity, secretiveness and the ability to surprise; untiring perseverance,
agility in attack, the tenacity to follow and the strength to overpower are
the qualities necessary in a successful predator. The Tiger possesses them all
in extraordinary measure. He is the symbol of India's wilderness and its National
Heritage Species. His lithe majesty, powerful muscles rippling under a tawny
coat, his symmetry and mesmerizing gaze is a tantalizing beacon to those who
want to capture this unmatchable beauty on their lens. Tiger was ruthlessly
hunted during the Raj, and in the sixties by the dealers in the fashion trade.
Human encroachment upon his habitat and the killing of his prey species further
endangered his survival.
To assist in Conservation of this magnificent feline we have joined hands
with "Care for the Wild International" wherein a part of our revenue
will be donated through Care for the Wild International to the National parks
in India. Care for the Wild International has spent over £170,000 on vehicles
and equipment, which are used to protect wild tigers in India.
