North-East India: 2013
Click on the small picture to see a larger, more detailed version. I
toured Northeastern India in march 2013. Most of the photos
were taken with a Canon SLR camera (T3i, 18 Mpixels) with a 100-400mm
zoom lens, but I also use a Canon T1i (15 Mpixels) with an 18-100 zoom
lens for scenery pictures.
I also visited India in March, 2011 in
the Delhi area.
The larger pictures are in many cases larger than can be seen
on the usual computer screen. Some viewers (e.g., Firefox) will show
the picture sized to fit the screen and offer a button to display at
the full resolution. When so displayed, scroll bars or other means
are needed to roam around the picture. Note that I have cropped
almost all pictures displayed here - this new camera has a lot of
pixels!
The trip was quite strenuous, but very enjoyable. Other than
Delhi and Kaziranga, the photography was difficult even if I had not
had a bad cold. The small number of photos from Nameri and Eaglenest
does not reflect the large numbers of birds seen there. The trip was
led by Jan Hansen (dba Otus
