Tigress another beautiful sight!

[Pavan Kumar Mangu]

One of the five sisters decided to walk up to our jeep, look into our eyes, like saying hi and then walked away into the forest behind us. We were all stunned wondering what we should do. The driver, guide and jeep et al was frozen in time... we were all hoping she would walk away without showing any more interest in us or metal junk that we were sitting in! Another spellbound moment at TATR. The " Tiger Haven".

It is an awesome feeling being close to a majestic creature like a tiger. The image doesn't appear sharp. Can you post the equipment and exif details.

This picture was taken when the tigress was moving and so it was difficult to capture her clearly. Worse she was very close to the jeep. I was using a Nikon D3100 and Nikkor 70-300 VR lens.

Nice close-up. Good eye contact. The image doesn't look sharp, maybe because she was moving as you have mentioned. A high shutter speed would have helped to freeze the movement. Please post the EXIF details like aperture, shutter speed, ISO to help in commenting. Thanks for sharing.

Sure, it was at the same time I was taking the close up, this was the time when five tigresses started walking allaround us and in the frenzy, you can imagine we didn't know where to focus. I didn't want to meddle with the camera because it all happened in 2-3 minutes. If I moved too much I would miss the event! Anyway this was a very lovely close encounter that I will remember all my life. I dont remember the EXIF details but will post from next time onwards.
