The Sloth Bear

[Harshad Barve]

Dear All

TATR is fantastic place to see and photograph five big animals of Central India.
It gives you tons of opportunity to photograph Tiger , Sloth Bear , Gaur akka Indian Bison and Wild Dogs akka Dhole.
Not to forget, TATR has best leopard density in Central India. Sighted and photographed quite often. Though my luck with Leopard is bad across the globe and so in TATR :eek3:


Dream place for any Mammal photographer with record of more than 270 bird species

This Sloth Bear was crossing road just 500 meters from main entry gate

D3, 200-400/F4 at 400/F4 , ISO 800 , 1/320 HH , 80% of FF

As usual all C & C are most welcome

Harshad,

The Bear seems very dark to me, also it was clearly moving and to my mind needed a lot more shutter speed, not to sure what you could have done about that:w3

Hi Harshad ,
fast moving sloth bear,not easy to manage under the light conditions.But is good to see an image of one of them. Agree with Ken that the bear is pretty much too dark,maybe you can recover some more detail in the black fur.

Cheers Andreas

Harshad - interesting to see and I like that 3 out of 4 paws are off the ground. I agree with the above comments and suggestions.

TFS,
