    Zuka Cheetah Mom

    Indeed Steve, Photographing wildlife is often frustrating, yet so rewarding when things come together nicely ☺️ I do my best always, albeit ( this word of yours is in my head now, LOL) sometimes I feel so much emotion when I encounter my beautiful lionesses or my cheetah boys that I have to...

    Zuka Cheetah Mom

    Thank you so much, Steve. Yes it's above 50% (the crop). Images were taken from the game viewer. Did not have any fancy support, just a bean bag, but wanted a lower POV so I stretched across my bench at the back using the arm rest as support for the lens. Certainly not ideal and rather...

    Zuka Cheetah Mom

    Hello everyone, One late afternoon in August ( about 4:30 pm) I came across this cheetah female and her cub on an impala kill. Lovely light, background a bit of a challenge though... after some controlled burning around the camp all that was left on both sides of the road was just... sticks...

    Drinks at the waterhole

    I get notifications! Did you chat to Allan, he'll fix it 😊 The one time I decided to shoot a bunch of zebra perfectly lined up by the waterhole (things looked oh-so-perfect) an impala dashed in front of them and spoilt everything😁 Cannot wait to see the rest of those images, you must have...

    She's such a beauty of a leopard, Steve. Quite young, maybe around four years of age, great condition, super relaxed and posing for you - great opportunity you had and well taken advantage of! For me the RP even more appealing, subject slightly brighter and a tad more contrast, the pink nose...

    Mantling

    Hello Steve, You have captured a truly interesting behavioural aspect which is not often seen or photographed - very special image! BTW owls do this too, quickly shield the prey before another predator sees it. I actually like this a lot. Fantastic pose from the subject, love the way it...

    Drinks at the waterhole

    Good morning Steve, Once again perspective just makes the image... you were also fortunate your subjects cooperated! Well captured and beautifully processed with lovely colours and detail. Good choice in terms of DoF. Reflection adds a lot to this frame. Composition works well and I quite...

    Hello from Arizona

    A warm welcome to you, dear Evan! No DSLR is too old, it's what you do with it and how you take advantage of any given situation ;) We look forward to your posts and comments, be it in the Wildlife or Avian, Macro or Landscape Forum. Paying attention to others' images and critique helps a...

    Red Deer (Cervus Elaphus)

    Hello Jon, Beautiful Red Deer with gorgeous antlers, well seen and taken! Do realise it is not easy to capture the species, suppose they are very skittish? Nice pose and I like the raised leg, subject looks alert, ears slightly forward. I quite like the positioning of the Deer within the frame...

    Angry Hippo

    Hello Gavin! Your hippo... judging by the teeth certainly not a youngster...I like that the eye is visible and love those droplets of water. Great view of those teeth. Agree with Steve, image probably shot late afternoon, overall has a blue cast which you can remove. I am certain you can do so...

    Zuka Cheetah Portrait

    Last Thursday I was returning from work around 4 pm and not far from my home I happened to come across my boys hunting. What joy! But only had the Z9/400mm combo in the vehicle so tried to get ahead of them to capture a few images as they walked towards a herd of wildebeest grazing nearby. When...
