Leopard

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
People, places? I don't know. These TrekEarth/TrekLens categories become increasingly limiting, the more I use these sites.
Spent three days walking and driving through Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe in the summer of 2001. Saw more elephants and giraffes than I could count, but no big cats. On the last day, just at sundown, this leopard ran right in front of our jeep and crouched in the brush. Got off a couple of shots before he/she ran off. It was tough to get a shot, using a long lens, with no time for a tripod, in very low light, out of flash range. But this one came out pretty well. It's a scan either of the neg or, possibly a print (and not a very good scan, which explains the artifacts you may see.) |

hello, you have to go to trek nature instead. Actually, it would be very appreciated as a shot of a very difficult animal to see in Africa, compared to other ones, I agree with you. Even if the picture is not perfect , it reflects the mood of waiting in the bush for an animal and the excitation when it is there.
