Leopard in Tree

[bryanpereira]

Not my best leopard in tree shots due to the distance and lighting but the most recent, taken 3 weeks ago on safari.
Still one of favorite big cats to capture
D850 200-400 f4
400mm iso 720 1/800 f6.3

brilliant. I'm getting better at spotting them, i'm learning to look for legs hanging down, not leopards who look very like a lumpy branch!

My least proud safari moment was when a guide had to fix my camera on it's tripod and point it at the right point on the tree before I could work out what it was - I'm doing better now!

The tail dangling is a better point to spot as they tend to keep it moving and its longer and whiter then the legs

Nice shots, Bryan.

Maybe we should have a "leopard in tree" thread. You must have a bagful back there, and I've got a fair few myself
