This one from an old collection.
A particular one spot where one always likely to find this old wise man of the jungle.:001_rolleyes:
This one taken with mirror lock technique , since it was late evening after evening safari while we were coming out of the park.
Canon 500mm f/4 , Canon 7D M II , 1/20 , mirror lock , f/4 , Handheld , ISO-1600.
Lovely stare. Good that you got the eyes fully through the leaves. Thanks for sharing.
Great shot! What and how is the mirror lock technique exactly works?
In any SLR camera , whether digital or film, light travels through the lens and is sent to the viewfinder by way of a mirror. When you press the shutter button all the way, the mirror flips up so that the light goes directly onto the image sensor, rather than being diverted to the viewfinder.Quote:

This vibration may introduce slight blurring in the photo, depending on the shutter speed you select. In general, slower shutter speeds (1/60 second and slower) are most susceptible to mirror-induced blurring, but many landscape and studio still-life photographers use their mirror lock-up feature religiously, no matter what their shutter speeds are, to capture the clearest, sharpest photo.
To reduce the effect of mirror slap-induced vibration, the camera offers mirror lockup. When you enable this feature, the mirror movement is completed well before the shot is recorded, preventing camera shake.
