“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take; But by the moments that take our breath away.” – Unknown
In Wildlife Photography, the fleeting moment of an action from the wildlife, & reaction of the photographer is measured by 1/25000s in this case. Many reckoned this shot of the Malabar Pied Hornbill & Prey as one of the most outstanding shot from our Sri Lanka Photo Series. As you can see, the original image wasn’t that exciting with branches blocking the full view of the hornbill. I thought what is the element that defines this moment? The iconic cask & the prey tossed in mid-air between its beak. With a lil cropping & VIOLA!
Wildlife photography isn’t about clicking the shutter & getting a sharp image. It’s about bringing out the wild behavior of the subject & telling a story to your viewer with the moment you’ve captured. That 1/25000s.
Join us to photograph the Malabar Hornbill and more amazing wildlife in our
7D6N Sri Lanka Wildlife Photography Safari March 2012!!
