India is the home of the endangered Asiatic lion (Panthera leo persica), and has some of the best opportunities for photographing other mammals and migratory birds from as far as Siberia. This trip is geared towards capturing images of Indian wildlife, landscapes, ancient architecture and local village people.  The tour is in three parts and you can register for one, two or all three segments.

The first segment will take us from Delhi to the Rann of Kutch for wild asses, foxes, and vast salt flats.  We then spend time in Velavader for some incredible birds and the black buck. Sasan Gir is the next stop for lions and other wild life.  The Wild Ass, Asiatic Lion and Black Buck are all on the endangered species list. We return to Delhi concluding this segment.

The second segment takes us to Agra where we photograph the Taj Mahal by sunset and sunrise.  The trip has been  scheduled to coincide with the full moon. We then drive to Chambal for bird photography and a river safari to capture images of the Gharial, Crocodiles and shore birds including Skimmers, Ibis and European Spoonbills to name a few.  Next we drive to Fatehpur Sikri to photograph ancient moslem architecture and then continue to Bharatpur.  The Keoladeo sanctuary in Bharatpur boasts over 300 hundred  species of migratory birds, owls and water fowl. We will drive back to Delhi concluding the second segment.

Our third segment takes us from Delhi to Jabalpur by air and then a drive to Bandhavgarh for tigers, jackals, the Indian Bison, wild boar and many other species of mammals and birds.  We return to Jabalpur to fly back to Delhi, concluding this segment.

Conquer the new digital imaging frontier at a pair of FREE, educational workshops hosted by Hunt’s Photo & Video. The workshops, titled, The Future of Photography…Revealed! will be led by world-renowned photo innovator Will Crockett on Saturday, August 18, 2012 at the Holiday Inn Rockland, 929 Hingham Street, Rockland. They will examine the capabilities of the new generation of mirrorless cameras that is making picture-taking easier, more creative, less expensive, and more fun. The workshops will be held from 10:00 am – noon, and 2:00 – 4:00 pm.

The workshops will examine the mirrorless imaging’s impact on technology, including its effect on camera sizes, speeds, weights, and capabilities. “The new mirrorless cameras are smaller and lighter, and you can produce extremely high-quality still pictures, incredible HD videos, and even 2D and 3D images with them,” explains Hunt’s Director of Retail Operations Mike Mitchell. “Mirrorless cameras allow the user to be more creative without having to carry around a lot of heavy equipment.”

The seminars are appropriate for point-and-shoot camera users, hobbyists, and other imaging enthusiasts who want to move up to the next skill level.
