Dune Prowler
by Morkel Erasmus
We had a lovely sighting of 2 male cheetahs in the Kalahari recently (Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park). The walked next to our vehicle for about 8km and eventually came onto the dunes on the right side of the light. This is nearly full frame at 200mm.
Techs:
Nikon D800
Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8 VR-II
f8.0 | 1/800 SS | ISO-250

7 commentsThe light and colours are terrific. It would be faking it I know but a tiny bit more light in those eyes would be great.
Grt, Ingrid.
Good for you to capture this guy , so close. I like the pose and his look off over your shoulder,. the leg raise is good but would be even better if you had waited a small amount for the leg to be in a better uplifting position , and misssing the tail too cuts him off a little., his long shadow in the sand really adds to the overall capture. and the small bit of sand being didturbed by his paw movement is great too.
thanks for sharing :)
