It was a last minute decision between Nandi Hills & Hessarghatta lake. We picked Nandi Hills as we it was a long time we had visited this place in early 2010. Reached there by 6:15am & it was still foggy, we dint go directly to the top of the hill as it will get crowded on Sundays by travellers.
So stopped near the Tank ( Kalyani) area & started moving around near the Horticultural nursery.

Good set.. I’ve never been able to get such lighting at Nandi hills. Always have shutter speed around 1/30s.
Thanks Sandeep, you are right the first photo of the Robin was shot at 1/80s 400 ISO & second one at same speed but at whooping 1600 ISO..
