The Sleeping Beauty

[Priya Vinay]

Nikon D40 | Nikon 300mm | ISO 1600 | 1/8s | F/5.6
Kabini, December 2009
Handheld shot at 300 mm

Found her late in the evening when there was almost no light at all. Hence 1600 ISO and 1/8 shutter speed and lot of noise :( - the max my camera could do...

Comfortably dozing on the branch. You did well under the circumstances. The distance and the low light makes it difficult to capture these magnificent predators. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Leopard in its habitat - A super shot. You did well in capturing a big cat at low shutter speeds without shake.

Nice environment photograph. It would have been great if the eyes would have been open. I liked the composition. You did great in tough conditions. Look forward to more.

[Bibhav Behera]

Nice work, given the conditions. The composition is fine too, just a bit more space at the bottom.

[Praveen Siddannavar]

Great shot under low light conditions, looks like he had a heavy meal:)
