Territory marking

[Sabyasachi Patra]

Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve.

She came too close. The driver moved the vehicle to give way and she defecated there in front of us to mark her territory. I wanted to film her with the Mark IV. And just shifted to get a still image as well for the records. I didn't want to try to lower myself for the fear of disturbing here.

Canon EOS 1D Mark IV, Canon EF 24-105 f4 L IS USM, ISO 800, f10, 1/40, EV+1/3.

Cheers,

You captured the behaviour nicely. The eye contact is also good. I remember this, I could not photograph as she was too close for me to take in 100-400mm lens. Thanks for sharing.
