In order to photograph tigers well in the wild, I have been attending zoo’s from time to time to practice, as well as hopefully capture the spirit and essence of the cats.
I often leave my images for as long as possible before deciding what to process and show the world. The idea being you lose any emotional attachment to your work, and therefore can be more critical and balanced in what you decide to process.
However, today was one of those days where the best images were obvious:
1dx, 400mm f2.8, 1/1000th sec -1 stop exposure.
A high energy moment between the cubs, 400mm f2.8, 1/2000th sec, 1dx.
Somehow two minutes of play equalled 4 hours of sleep… 1dx, 800mm f5.6, 1/1000th sec, -1 stop exposure.
A moment to reflect, canon 1dx, 400mm f2.8
A mischievous moment, 1dx, 400mm f2.8
A light from heaven.
Long may they burn bright.
