Cheetah In Evening Light

[ramesh anantharaman]

Canon EOS ID Mark IV
Canon Ef 500mm L IS + 1.4 x T.C.

700mm, 1/125 sec, f/5.6, ISO - 1600.


This was shot late evening at about 1815 hours. Just managed this with a bean bag on top and under the lens. I would have bumped up the ISO but as the subject stood there for a minute or so i took the risk. Hope it works.

Hi Ramesh, Nice Cheetah image with good colour and eye contact. I also like the BG which captures the feel of the wide open plains.

[Robert Amoruso]

I agree with the above Ramesh. Looks good and sharp at this shutter speed. Nice of him to cooperate.

Lovely look-back pose and overall image design here Ramesh. Soft light worked magic here.
Looks good for the SS/Focal length combo you used - steady hands! :t3

[Roman Kurywczak]

Hey Ramesh,
Everything loooks good for me too and nice to see he cooperated for you at that SS!

Like how the whole cheetah is very sharp and the eye contact. Nice colors in the background as well.
