We spent a wonderful few minutes with this cub and her mother, before a sudden African storm sent us scuttling back to our lodge. This cub is called "Supercub", because she is the only cub in her litter - in which case they normally don't make it since the parents don't go to a lot of trouble to preserve one cub. She has however excelled and travels long distances on foot with the pride and stakes her claim as an official member, although she still is quite young.
Here she was playing with her mom, who got very agitated soon after this shot :). The light was darkish as the storm was building - and the D3s didn't disappoint at an ISO of 1250.
All comments most welcome...
Techs:
Nikon D3s with Nikkor 200-400mm VR @ 340mm
f4.0 @ 1/400 SS @ ISO-1250
cropped off about 35-40% around the edges
