Fishing in Pair by Nirupam Roy

It’s a great achievement for me that this type of rare photo is provided by my favorite bird ‘Alcedo Athis’. It is a very intelligent and cleaver bird that always tries to deceive us to take photo of it, but I also took some steps to capture her fine caption and here it is. One thing is also revealed by our constant watching of it, that, this is a quarrel some community. If one takes a suitable position of catching fish, the other one comes from nowhere to snatch that prey. I am lucky that from inside the hiding we got that shot within the fraction of seconds.

Nirupam Roy is a school teacher by profession. His story of coming to the world of photography is quite fascinating. In one summer he planned a family trip to Orrisa, India. There he realized the necessity of a camera to capture the scenic beauty of the place surrounded by several sea-coasts. At the same time he wanted to photograph his family, especially his son Arkapravo, and bought his first camera Canon SX 40 HS. After returning home, he has fallen in love with photography passionately. Photography completely changes his whole attitude towards nature and human being. It gives him a sort of peace to his weary mind, as if a blessings from Almighty.
