Elusive Tigress in Jim Corbett NP

[Swapnil Dighe]

After 6 safaris, finally got to see Tiger in Jim Corbett national park at the beginning of last Safari. Such a magnificent tigress. Wanted to cross the lane to reach to her cubs. The Light was very low.

Shooting Info:
Camera - Canon Powershot SX50 HS
Shutter Speed - 1/320
Av - 6.5
ISO-1250

Comments and suggestions would be appreciated.

Swapnil,
Congratulations on your first tiger sighting. Nice pose. It is great that the head is clearly seen through the vegetation. The eye contact is nice. Is this a cropped image? If so how much of a crop is this? The image seems a bit soft. What was the focal length used? I remember this model has a 50X zoom. When one is using such high zoom, it is important to rest the camera or use on a tripod. Were you handholding? Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Congrats on sighting a tiger in Corbett .

She looks quite eager, waiting to cross the road and join her cubs. How long was the sighting? Did you get her crossing the road? Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Sabyasachi and Mrudul,

@Sabyasachi - Yes it is 50X (1200mm) zoom handheld shot. No Crop. She was within 10-15 meters Range.

@Mrudul - She was quite eager to cross the road. The sighting lasted for 10 seconds. Could have been for more time however one over excited jeep driver drove the Jeep and she ran away. Got one shot crossing the road will, post soon.

Just address us by our name. @ sign is not required. To me somehow the @ sign reminds me of the price such as bag of potatoes.
