    Default Langur drinking 2

    Dear All,

    This is in continuation of the earlier Langur drinking shot that I had posted. The earlier shot was horizontal. I discovered, that I had a vertical frame as well.

    Canon EOS 10D, EF 300mm F4L IS USM lens, 1/180 sec, f4, ISO 100.

    This shot is cropped from the rightside and the bottom. About 37% crop.

    Steve: The tiger didn't show up that day. But the next day morning, I had some very nice shots of the tiger.

    I am also posting this to confess, that I am passionate about tigers. I keep on trying to shoot tigers often ignoring other species. I shot this langur with disinterest. My driver urged me to shoot this when he saw the langur drinking. Probably, that is why in the horizontal shot, I had clipped the fingers of the langur.

    The sound of the shutter firing away excites my driver. He was feeling sad that when other photographers were firing away, I was only shooting one or two frames. When one day, I saw an interesting scene and was pressing the shutter like a machine gun, my driver even clapped. My 1D Mark II sounds like a machine gun. I see lot of photographers feel excited when they shoot big sequences, often when the animal or bird has moved to a badly lit area, or cluttered background or even when the subject has moved out of range of their lenses etc.

    I think I would prefer a clearer shot of some great behavor by the langur without the framing. I think it detracts from the subject. Also a bit more room on the right side of the frame would help.

    The great pose of this animal with its reflection in nice light sure has lots of potential for a great photo, but the OOF areas at the bottom and the right of the frame and the clipped tail on the left are ruining it here for me...
