We first came across an impala kill that had been killed and most of it almost eaten. With no signs of anything around I left the vehicle to have a look at the remains of what looked like a cheetah kill. It had been killed a few hours before and we carried on down the road to find a mother and three sub adults lying in a drainage line 200m away. After spending 15 or so minutes with them the youngsters decided to head back to the kill. this youngster was the first to make a move.
This was a cloudy dull morning with poor light but the rain a few days before hand had already made an impact on the grass.
1dx - 70-200mm f2,8L IS USM MK II @200
ISO6400 - F5,6 - 1/800 sec -
Nice one, even if it is compromising situation. I think you handle tech and pp good. I would maybe try to include more on the lhs to get the cheetah less center, if you have it.
Hi Carl - It looks good for such a high ISO. Nice rainy season colors. I agree a touch more on the left would take it up a notch. I like that we can see the musculature of the cheetah.
Hi Carl you caught him in a unfortunate position , not very nice from you .
Nice IQ for the ISO , but with the 1Dx no problem .
Personally i would step back with NR , but that is just me . Colors are also a matter of taste , i would go less on a cloudy dull day , as i said my preference . Not much you can do about the busy BG , so no deal breaker .
Are you coming along with the 1Dx now ?
I am close to get the 500 or 600 , have a great offer for the 600 not much more than the 500 . I have to make a decision .
