Not the shot I wanted of a Leopard in the Candelabra Tree, but the only one I could get. There was simply no angle from where we stopped where the cat\u2019s eye was visible. Maybe if I had been alone I could have gotten out and walked up the road a bit and crouched lower\u2026or at least had the driver\/guide shuffle the van forward\u2026but both the cat and my fellow travelers were suffering from the extreme heat of the Equinorial afternoon\u2026only a few miles from the equator. The Leopard was panting as though he or she had just completed a marathon, but as you see from the very relaxed pose, it was just the heat. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. ISO 250 @ f4 @ 1\/500th. <\/p>\n
