A trrip to bannerghatta national park which in my perspective is a glorified zoo.But the conservatory in the butterfly park is just marvelous.This national park is at the end of bannerghatta road and there's a volvo that takes you there.Imagine going to a national park in a volvo.
So here goes:
There is definitely no point in carrying a DSLR into the reserve cos they make you sit in these cramped busses where you have to take pictures through a hole in your own cage.And the stoppage time is so less that in case you're carrying multiple lenses(which I wasn't)you wouldn't be able to get jack unless you're some big ass photojournalist.And at this time of the year the tigers are mostly sleeping(cos the park is open from 9 to 5 only when its searing hot).The most activity they show is a shake of their beautiful heads.Beautiful is precisely the word to describe these creatures.Would love to see them in the wild.
This tiny little bird was the only one sitting outside a cage so I took its picture.
Lets just get straight to the butterfly park.This beautiful beautiful conservatory has a lot of flowering plants preserved inside a greenhouse where there are little artificial streams and all,which make you feel like you're in some tropical forest.At three in the afternoon it is actually that hot inside the fiber glass dome.But I was lost in taking pictures to the extent that I could feel none of it.
The pic of the trip was these two butterflies in flight.Initially I was making a mistake of using slow shutterspeeds for the macro feel so they were coming out blurred whenever they moved(which the usually keep doing).But when I increased the shutter speed to 1/4000 I was able to get the butterflies in flight.
Some more pics of random plants and butterflies.Do have a look.My suggestions dont carry a DSLR unless you're going to visit the butterfly park which they show you at the end of the safari.And make sure you go in the latter half of the day so you can get to see some movement from the animals.
God bless.Have a great week ahead.
