lynx overload

[David Stallard]

Got to love Whipsnade - great day and then the Lynx to finish off - have never seen all 5 so active, great to see!

#1 1/800, f/3.2, iso 250, 300mm

#2 1/800, f/3.2, iso 125, 300mm "you paid how much to get in. . . . . "

#3 1/800, f/3.2, iso 320, 300mm Autumnal backgrounds, got to love them

#4 1/2000, f/3.2, iso 320, 300mm the obligatory 'gob shot'

#5 1/800, f/3.2, iso 125, 300mm Portrait

#6 1/800, f/3.2, iso 125, 300mm just watching

Took over a hundred photo's of just the Lynx - would have taken a hundred more if we had had the time lol. Thanks for looking

They are so photogenic aren't they?
I've "wasted" hours and hours on them, especially when they were young.

The only minor criticisms I have, is that you have clipped a couple of toes,
#3 should really be looking into the negative space, not away from it,
and #5 is a tad central.
As I said minor

Its a cracking set with nice light too

 

[David Stallard]

Thank you kind sir, I could quite happily of filled a card or three - 'almost' as beautiful as the snow leopards at Marwell 'almost' ;-)

this slightly better for #3?

Another cracking pose, The Lynx is all but looking straight down the
barrel of the lens, personally, I'd have made that Portrait, cropping quite close to the feet, LHS.


But of course a lot of this is subjective.
Other people may see it differently

 

[David Stallard]

Thank you again and agree 100%, totally subjective.

The rest are HERE if you fancy a giggle or three.

PS: you may be able to help - when is the best time of year / day to actually see the wolves within photography distance? almost given up looking.

Wolves can be a PITA they tend to feed them before the park opens,
and they head for the back to sleep it off, or take the bones with them to chew on.
If you have the time to spare, I seem to have most luck late morning, just stand around and
they move forward for awhile, scent mark or just pose on the mound, but not for long.
So it tends to only about a 10 minute window, "sometime" around late morning.

Beautiful shots.

Gorgeous set.

Love the BG in #3. AS Chris mentioned, it's a shame about the clipped feet.
Similar story with #6.
Love that pose.

Would be very chuffed with myself had I taken something similar, well done.
