I could have easily increased the iso for a higher shutter speed but this sighting was so quick that I had no time to change the setting. This does happens especially to me, no matter you see tigers so often....Excitement:laugh:

Beautiful eye contact. A bit more space at the bottom would be good. I am not sure but I think reducing the sharpness a bit would be good. Thanks for sharing.

P.S - You can keep the default ISO to 400, in 7D that would be quite safe. Since you don't want to miss out when you see a tiger :).

The peeping pose and Eye contact are nice. Agree on reducing sharpness. The sighting itself is a great gift, Not to worry praveen im sure there will be loads more coming your way and you will certainly make good of them.:thumbup1:

Lovely sighting. The eye contact is good. Did you run noise reduction?

[Praveen Siddannavar]

Thanks guys for the comments.

Sabyasachi - yes I did run the NR about 40-50%

Mrudul - how do we set up the iso 400 as default?

[Sagar Patil]

I dont find any problem with this ISO on my TFT.
I am surprised with the sharp eyes and face, which came out outstanding.
