These pictures are from a series taken one full moon night in 2006 in Wandoor in the Andamans. The small tank is the roosting site of a big flock of lesser whistling teals and the light of the full moon offered an interesting oppurtunity of making these pictures. The images were all shot at 1600 film speed and with maximum possible aperture. They've also been cropped to remove the distracting and/or irrelevant foreground and/or background as relevant
