She’s nestled up in the tree in Vumbura Plains, Botswana. Such a beauty.

The leopard is a solitary creature, rarely seen in pairs except to mate.

  3. surprised you were shooting at 1600ISO, looks light enough for less. Also surprised you’re still on the original firmware.

  4. I am? I thought I upgraded to fix the bulb noise issue, but clearly not. Thanks!! It was dusk. This is a crop that caught my eye, with the tree not to be seen, creating a portraiture…

    Jeany: very close, maybe 15 feet away. We drove right under her while she was sleeping… and then the male arrived… great shots to come.

  5. Gorgeous! A friend in my eye. I just love wild cats, especially leopards ( en français: un léopard; des léopards. Accent on the pard but you do not pronounce the d: léo-parrr).
