Behind The Lens
Location
Yorkshire Wildlife park, Doncaster??? DN3 3NH??? LAND OF THE TIGERS Three endangered Amur tigers live here, Vladimir, Tschuna and Sayan happily roam the Land of The Tigers the largest and most innovative tiger enclosures in Europe with two pools, and a waterfallTime
Tigers are like domestic house cats a great deal of their time is spent resting or sleeping. A tiger will spend between 16 and 20 hours each day doing very little apart from lying in the shade or sleeping I was lucky to capture this Amur tiger at around 16:00 in the afternoon after awakening from a long sleepLighting
it was a beautiful bright day, dry with no wind and the light was soft due to some light cloud that had drifted over in late afternoonEquipment
Canon 500D. Canon EF 100-400 f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM Lens and a small beanbag.Inspiration
Many times I have watched Tigers and Lions yawn after sleeping which happens in a split second, its when they yawn you understand the power these beautiful animals have, the size of the mouth and teeth stand out This is what I wanted to show, the power, the teeth, the sizeEditing
Yes I did a conversion to black and white and a slight crop.In my camera bag

The only thing I can tell you is, be patient and wait for the moment your looking for
