As soon as I saw this puma about to make a run at a group of guanacos, I quickly lowered the shutter speed of my camera by closing down the aperture, and I steadily tracked along with her. Unfortunately for the puma, her effort went unrewarded as the faster guanacos all got away. As for me, I was able to caputure a nice series of motion blurred images. I’ll post a few of the others in the future. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/22 at 1/13th of a second
Wonderful shot of a puma on the move. This image gives a good impression of the speed these cats can achieve as they race – hopefully – towards their next meal. Nice capture, Sean!

Thanks Sue. She made a good run at it but the terrain was too open. I think they do best by ambushing.
Wow Puna just fades into surroundings
You can feel the motion , just brings you into the photo

Thanks Aunt Sue. And good seeing you last week.
Great usage of motion! Intensifies the hunt.
Thanks Rachel. I’ve always been a fan of the slow shutter panning shots.
