    I am not a fan of flash photography on Safari, so I tried an experiment with this.

    It was taken in Mapula Reserve Botwasana on 13th September 2008

    EOS1D MkIII
    500mm IS on bean bag

    F4, 1/160, ISO 6400

    IIumination was by three spotlights.

    What do you think of the result?

    No noise reduction applied.

    :) You've just defined the "Lion in Headlights" look!

    Great shot. She looks positively caught in the act of being a cat at night!

    Great job with the flash! Like the colors and the eyes really stand out.

    Ken, I agree with the others but think this needs more sharpening. I did a few rounds of USM on it at 175/0.3/0 and 125/.2/0 and the head really pops.
