I took this shot in Namibia, on the farm. It is always difficult - to see a leopard in nature. As I knew it i had planned to visit few farms to be able to take photos of leopards. This female leopard Liza lives in a cage about 100x100 metres, what is too small for her. And, unfortunately, she hasn't any chances to hunt. So, her muscles are weak. I wish this beautiful girl has bigger space to live and practice to hunt time to time.Time
It was morning time, 9:19.Lighting
Morning light was soft and niceEquipment
I took this shot with Canon 40D and lens 70-200mm f/4 L IS USMInspiration
I love all cats, and of course, i obsessed with big cats. So i love to take them pictures.Editing
I did a ?rop, and added more contrast.In my camera bag
That time i had in my bag Canon 40D plus 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM and Canon 5D plus 16-35mm f/2.8 II USMFeedback
As I said, It's a big luck to see leopards close in the nature, if you don't have special permit. So, the only one guaranteed chance - to visit a farm.
