This picture was taken in monsoons in Ranthambore when only the buffer zone was open. I had given up hope of sighting the tiger and was about to exit the park when i suddenly heard a cry and my driver said that its a kill. We rushed to the spot and found this Tigress with the kill. The moment i started to click it started to pour so heavily. Luckily i had the rain cover on and continued clicking.

About Photographer
Coming from an orthodox Bengali family from Kolkata, India, I recognised my passion for photography much later after I hit my 30s. Prior to that I was only an IT employee working for various MNCs for more than 12 years. I discovered my fascination for photography, especially for bird shots when I visited a bird sanctuary with a photographer friend in 2018. I immediately decided that I would want to delve deeper into the world of birds and wildlife.
So I began working on my gear. Started from Canon Rebel-T5 with Tamron 150-600,
currently I possess Nikon D500 and Nikkor 200-500 for my genre of photography.
With birding and wildlife comes a lot of traveling. So I started visiting remote Himalayan districts and forests in search of exotic birds and wild animals. Some days prove to be very fruitful and rewarding while some are not worth the time and energy invested. As it's the mantra of wildlife photography. No matter what, patience is the key till you find your lucky day.
