p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Leopards from Zambia, the South Luanga National park


morning all

We have just come back from our first trip to Africa, Zambia, the South Luanga National park
we had an amazing week we were hoping to see Lions and Leopards and saw Lions for the first 3 days and Leopards at least once every day
we also saw Painted dogs, Hyenas bush baby and lots more
here's a couple of Leopards it took me a few days to get a sharp shot of one I was so exited that I couldn't hold the camera steady! but managed it in the end
I used a bean bag on the back of the seat rail which helped a lot

I'm really happy with these shots we saw a Leopard when we went to India but I messed up the shots so am pleased to finally get some I'm happy with

first two taken with 300 2.8 and 7D the rest 70-200 F4 and 550D, last one is a flash shot

Well done Pete! Seeing your first wild leopard is a thrill...I understand your excitement and you did a super job on these. Glad you enjoyed your first trip...I suspect it won't be your last...once bitten by the Africa bug....

2 is a nice portrait, but I like the whole animal. So #3 for me.
#4 is very good but the flash in the eyes detracts. I'd blacken the pupils and see what that looks like.
S. Luanga is a very special place. I hope Zambia protects the animals there. It could be one of the best places to visit in all of Africa. You picked a good spot for your first visit!!
