    Willy: Surely you have heard of google? I tried it, and found out quite a bit about Mr. Shivaram. I hesitate to post anything, because I don't understand why you posted your question. And as Dan pointed out, tiger photography with a view camera is an unlikely proposition, but this is a large format photography site. Mr. Shivaram is under contract to a well-known camera company, but one that has no connection at all to large format.

    I have no idea about how the workshop is ran or if the tigers are in the wild or in a sanctuary.

    I started college with a path towards zoology to work with big cats. Tigers were always a favorite. I can tell you...In the wild, the odds of seeing a tiger are extremely rare. They are very seclucive animals. With only several thousand remaining in the wild…it's a long shot to see one much less long enough to photograph one with a LF camera.
    Personally, if I was planning a trip & spending thousands of dollars to see/ photograph big cats. I would go to Africa..southern or eastern portions during the wet season. You will definitely see lions, perhaps cheetahs & leopards too if lucky.

    My thoughts exactly.
    Film, the consistent file format for over a century.

    Yes i have heard of Google ..but i don't think you have heard of fake marketing ? i wanted to know about him fully before investing my money & right now i feel like it turned out to be a mistake from my side that i actually thought i could get some insides about him .I mean how can a person help me out if he himself needs help .. u sir believe everything that's written on internet which itself is a problem for u .Anyways I hope you don't need Google to understand this .

    Then surely you will be much better informed asking your question on a wildlife photography forum. Unless of course you are in someway connected with them and are trying some devious advertising

    I'm not sure in what sense 'sanctuary' is mentioned earlier - most, if not all sanctuaries in India are forest areas without boundaries and in the wild. None are safari-parks where animals are herded into specific areas and are easily visible for tourists. (if that was the interpretation)

    Ranthambore is a large National park(about as Wild as you can get, I suppose). IIRC it hosts the second biggest number of tigers after the (contiguous) national parks in the south. And usually touted to tourists as *the* place to see tigers easily.

    Of course, spotting tigers requires luck. There's supposedly a tourist friendly bunch there - haven't been there myself.
    Other places I have been to, haven't really had much luck spotting tigers.
    Also, there are some safaris on Elephant back.

    Don't know if it makes a difference but the Clintons got to see a family of tigers when they visited India @ Ranthambore, I think.
