Black Leopard
This female has arrived at Hamerton. This place rescues animals from all over the world, mainly endangered species, and they breed when they can.

I've photographed Ady a few times now. We get better each time as a team. This image was a fave from our latest session. I hope you like it to.

Hi,
I'm just reading a nice book on wildlife photography by Richard Bernabe, some good advice in there. The first photo would be amazing if the leopard was looking more clearly at the camera. How did you get that shot ? A lower shooting position would have been ideal, of course not possible if you're in a 4x4 from afar. For the third one, I like the composition, you just lack a bit of glitter in the eye, a flash would have helped. I didn't know about that before reading the book, but wildlife photographers do carry big flashes for that purpose, to avoid completely black eyes. On the last one, only one bird is looking up, which is unfortunate.
that book i love to look up. The First was shot from a 4x4.
Thanks for your input i will think on this on my next trip
I like the first shot. The second seems a bit too tight a crop for my taste, I would like to have seen more people f where he was looking. The swans just don’t work for me.
Im glad that you like the first one. I will crop less next time
Thanks for your input i will think on this on my next trip
