Stormy Ritual
Posted on I was amazed to see this He & She involved in pre-sex stormy ritual between this pair of house sparrow. Apparently it’s foreplay of its own kind.

Jitu, you have managed to click the push button for the internal mechanism of a device on time and brought out an art to display.
Well done and thanks!

A great combo of technology and talent.
A readiness of shutterbug, easy accessibility to a great camera with super technological features.
A moment to freeze and celebrate.
May be time to think about submitting the picture to “Shutterbug” - the magazine. RAW images ?

Wonderful photos of sparrows in action and I salute Shutterbug’s quickness in taking these photos in a matter of second. Like Mabi said, ‘readiness of this Shutterbug’ is amazing. Simply a great work.

Many thanks. It’s always good to have compliments, comments and this time I am flattered.
Indeed “A moment to freeze and celebrate” as Mabi said. I am happy that photography allows me to unveil beauty that lies in small things which we overlooked otherwise. I think these pictures one good example of ‘being the right person at the right spot besides talent and technology. That morning, I was trying to click pictures of Pigeons in flight and out of the blue this pair of sparrow popped up in front of me and starts to grapple. And within 3 second I have clicked these shots.
Keep commenting.

Shutterbug
I know you are not a post-production person. I would definitely remove the terracotta ( a major distractor in the picture !)
