Few sightings on an African safari bring as much excitement as a leopard. On my last trip to Kenya, we hadn’t seen any until the final two days when we had two separate sightings of two different leopards. This was the final game drive of that trip and I decided to use a slow shutter to capture the movement of the leopard through the grass. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 800, f/11 at 1/20th of a second.
Really great shot, Sean. The motion of the leopard’s legs is in rather stark contrast to the relative sharp focus of the big cat’s face & whiskers. Nicely done!
