Happy Tiger!

[Cory Stallard]

These two photos have got to be amongst my favourite images of tigers' that I've ever taken.
Hope they make you smile too!
Both were taken handheld through glass with the 7D and 200mm prime

1 - 1/800, f/3.2, ISO 250


2 - 1/800, f3.2, ISO 250


C & C always welcome

Nice set Cory, although they appear a bit hot on the tiger's face.

They more than make me smile Cory, they are lovely. That first one is just great timing.

Some other character called Stallard posted some big cat shots recently .............. not a patch on yours!

Re: Happy Tiger!

Thanks for the comment Tom,
I had a look again, both on my laptop and David's screen and they seem to be ok here. I admit that there was quite a bit of low sunlight focussed on her head/face, but I didn't think that it blew it out too much to detract from the image.

Hahahaha, thanks for that Colin
I must admit, that I was just really lucky to catch it just at the right time. The fact that she seems to be smiling is just the icing on the cake for me.

The splash as the paw goes down on numbder one and the smile

Re: Happy Tiger!

Love and hate these at the same time - love them because they are well timed and the expressions are awesome but hate them because . . . I was right there and missed them all

Colin - I know where to find you lol
