The Chambal rewards steadiness. Today’s boat run was less about chasing subjects and more about reading light and anticipating movement.

Indian Skimmers repeatedly crossed the same stretch of river, giving photographers time to refine framing rather than settling for reactive shots.

By the time the sun strengthened, guests had moved from basic exposure corrections to thinking more intentionally about background, spacing, and behavior.
