When photographing an animal or a group of animals, the Shahs each use a different lens and point of view. For example, Anup may shoot from a distance using a long focal-length lens, while Manoj takes up a closer position and works with a normal or wide-angle lens. This photo of a Nile crocodile swimming with an open mouth (a common strategy for catching small fish) was shot from close range.
