After a rather long break, Rakesh called me for some shooting this morning.
A small plot inside Thane ( a suburb or Mumbai) had four different types of birdies. We saw all four today but was able to click only three.
All very high ISO shots, against the light, with minimal crops and very minor noise reduction. The trick, expose to the right and, crop minimal 🙂

The birds were some 20 meters away. Note how I used the +EV to add some detail into the shadow when I am shooting against the light.
