Sumatran tiger

Gallery: Man & FaunaPosted April 26, 2017288 views4 comments

Was at the Miller Park Zoo, in Bloomington, IL when I noticed the new male Sumatran tiger. He was relaxing inside his exhibit and posed nicely. These are the smallest of the tiger species. Used a higher ISO since the light was very low. Also, large aperture to reduce the bars in front of the exhibit.

Wow! Beautiful eyes John. Love the orange coat too. Not sure how to reduce the cage lines that are subtly visible here.

Awesome shot with great detail. The cage lines are not overwhelming but I wonder if a brush with "de haze" in LR would help these?
