Leopard on the Move

Leopard on the Move

This was taken at Oaklawn Zoo in Aylesford, NS. The leopard was pacing back and forth so much I had to follow his movements with the camera as the picture was taken.

    Good one – it looks as if it is running in chase of prey.

    Thanks, Kye! I actually have a print of this on my wall with a print of another picture I took of a seagull that was running around in my driveway. I hung them so it looks like the leopard is stalking the seagull. I’ll be uploading that one soon.

    Thanks everyone! Other than a bit of contrast, brightness, and saturation nothing was actually done to the picture. the effect is mostly from trying to keep up with the leopard’s constant pacing. No photoshop blurs were used.

    Love the sense of movement which you have captured in this shot – it is very difficult to pan shot animals close in, so well done.

    Exquisite! The fencing has taken on a shadow effect. Hints of the captive condition of this wild beast. ;D

    I think it’s an interesting twist how because of the movement you
    got a ghost effect. It takes it from a photo over itno the artistic realm,
    in my opinion. Wild!
