    Default Cerval hunting on saltpan

    We managed to track this elusive cat on the last of our 17 night safari to the
    South Luangwa Nat Park- Zambia.
    It was well worth the wait!
    He was very cooperative, letting us spend a good 30 minutes with him AND his partner
    who showed up near the end.

    Nikon D2Xs
    300 f/2.8 VR
    ISO 400
    f/4
    & Better Beamer -1.7 EV
    1/250s



    C & C most welcome

    Cheers
    Marc

    Fine capture of a tough subject.. I like the hidden aspect of the subject int eh frame. Overall the image seems a tad dark. Nice catchlight and I'n suprised the eye didn't go green on you. I had a lot of problems with that in TX and I had my flash way off axis...

    Many thanks for your positive comments Robert.
    Your right about the BB, I had my wife holding it a good 4-5 feet off axis :eek: to avoid
    the dreaded green eye on this occasion.

    The image is sharp. Nice pose. The picture overall is dark but can be rectified in postprocessing.
