Birds in different lighting, bringing beauty, motion, and dramatic contrast to the picture.
Avian Glow, the name itself tells what the photograph is about. These photographs showcase different birds in different light, shot in Kerala. For bird photography, morning is one of the best times to photograph and observe the birds because, at that time, they will be more active. In bird photography, light also plays a key role in taking dramatic pictures of them.
Calm Contrast Egret crosses through still water.
It starts with a picture of an egret walking in the still water in search of food. That’s a dark place, and the egret was white, so the light falling there creates a unique canvas to focus on, and its movement in the water also. The next photograph is about an asian bird sitting in the morning light. That light shows its beautiful curved neck and its beak.

Next one is the fight of two egrets in the water, where one of the egrets, running with wide-open wings, the light was falling into wings, making the scene visually impressive. The last is the bath of the Brahminy kite, and it is going to fly with its long wings. The light illuminates the wings like a fire, and the splash of water turns magical drops.
Beak Brawl Egrets fight in the morning light.
Avian Glow explores how light helps to create a beautiful contrast between the subject and the background. In this, all four photographs tell how the light gives true life to the picture. During photographing, I managed to see and capture the different perspectives of birds in different types of light. Birds are stunning to photograph as well as to observe.
