Nice! Did you find this little guy at a zoo? The Bronx Zoo has a baby snow leopard cub this year, as does the Central Park zoo, and it is a big deal as these guys are rare. Wondering where you found him?

Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken at the Akron Zoo.Time
About 11 am. Great sunlight.Lighting
It was very sunny so there were also a lot of shadows but this turned out really well.Equipment
For this I used a Nikon d90. No flash no tripod. Nothing special really. I believe the focal length was about 50. Raj was right by the glass on the rock wall.Inspiration
Wow I most of taken hundreds of photos of the two cubs. They where the first snow leopard cubs at the Akron zoo. Raj in this photo was very tired he was playing all morning long with the other cub.Editing
I did a little photoshop with color, sharpening and some of the basics but not a whole lot more.In my camera bag
For the zoo I carry a couple of different lens from 50mm to 300 mm. Since most of my photography involves hiking I like to pack light.Feedback
Experiment and think outside the box. Dont be afraid to take hundreds of photos just to get one or two good ones.
