Leopard at night taken in South Luangwa National Park, Zambia 2013

[Martin Abela]

I have been continuing to processing my photos from this summer’s trip and found another one I think is good for sharing.

As the title says is was taken in South Luangwa national Park, Zambia which covers just under 10,000 square kilometers and was excellent for wildlife, especially leopard, lion, elephants and birds too.

It is taken at 2.8 @ 1/40, ISO 5000 with 300 2.8 lens handheld. The light was provided by a spot light that was powered from the cigarette lighter in the car.

Great shot Martin. I was looking at your 500px sets and was about to suggest the Leopard eating the snack on the tree with the little bird watching for scraps was an even better one but it seems to have disappeared. I guess you are having a spring clean ?

I am having teething problems with the lightroom plugin and 500px! The photos will be back in an hour or so. In the mean time I shall add that photo to this thread

The Leopard in the second photo was taken in Namibia at Africat at 166mm (70-300L) f5 1/800 at ISO 800

You and me both Wayne. Or not.

Thanks for posting the second image Martin and for mentioning the 500px plugin for lightroom. I've only recently started using lightroom and didn't know about this- will have to investigate this weekend.
