There is no organised photoshoot in a reserve. It is a combination of patience, skill, instinct and luck that often leads to awe-inspiring wildlife photographs, something Jeetendra Chaware from Hyderabad experienced when he froze in his camera the moment a magnificent beast brought down a bull in Uttar Pradesh’s Pilibhit Tiger Reserve last week.
“The Sharda Main Canal (75 meters wide) flows through the tiger reserve. Along both edges of the canal are two trails—one a tar road (pakki patari) and the other a regular jungle trail (kachchi patari). Most wildlife sightings happen on these two trails,” said Mr. Jeetendra, better known as Jeet Aman in wildlife photography circles, during a chat with The Hindu.
“On one of our safaris, we noticed a sub-adult bull, which had strayed into the forest. We tried to chase it out of the forest [and] onto the main road leading away from the forest,” he said.
