The Shot

As you may recall from a few months ago, I wrote a blog entry about a leopard sighting and photograph from Tanzania. We had come across an adult female leopard in a tree, and took the time to wait until she jumped out of the tree. I was thinking that the actual jumping out of the tree would be the best way to capture the essence of the scene, but in my excitement I filled up the buffer on my 1DsMkII camera just as 'the moment' transpired. Lost photo opportunity for me. Well, I am glad to say that my words of encouragement and instruction were being heard from my two other Land Rover mates that day, Lee Sanders and Arthur Grossman.

Lee has just sent me a fantastic photograph illustrating the moment in one photograph. This is a collection of three frames. I love how each of the leopard positions are perfectly assembled. Very cool shot. Thanks for sharing, Lee.
