Peeping Tom

[Rajan Kanagasabai]

Halfway through a drizzling evening Safari at Zone A, we were slowly moving near the Tiger tank when a Langur alarm call right above us caught our attention. Switching off the jeep, we were waiting patiently and the langur alarm chatter was continuous though there was no movement around. I was sitting at the left and all of a sudden, there was a rustling in the bushes just a few feet to my left. Without a warning a head popped out of the thick undergrowth. It was too close for the 500 prime or the 100-40 IS II. Luckily the 5D Mark III had a EF 50mm f/1.2L USM on it which came in handy for this sighting which lasted just a couple of minutes after which the Tiger just sat down - out of sight inside the bushes.

Canon 5D Mark III, Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM, F4, 1/180, ISO 2500, Hand Held under light drizzle.
