My apologies for my 6 month absence,
my wife Rossana, our dog Pretzel and I have relocated back home to Australia after 7 years living in Switzerland and then relocated away from our home state of NSW up to the tropics of Far North QLD and designing our new home. Access to my image files/HDD's weren't possible until recently. This last (NOV/DEC) trip where this image was captured saw many encounters of cheetah mothers with families of 7 (Mara)....YES 7, 6 (Lemek) 4 plus another 4 (Naboisho) and the famous 5 bros coalition "Tano Bora" from the Mara, so very blessed indeed! Kisaru ankle taps an Impala and successfully brings her down, with 6 (4 mth old) hungry cubs to feed, she needs to hunt just about every day! This mother was amazing and with so few vehicles around this time of year I had the privilege to watch her hunt successfully on 4 different occasions with 1 hunt seeing her take down a pregnant Impala and then abandon it to grab a (also) pregnant Thompsons Gazelle all in a heavy downpour lasting an hour (images to follow) Lemak concession, Mara. Bean bag front pax seat, 30% crop, TK adj's, curves, levels in ACR & PS CC'20 Nikon D850 Nikkor 70-200E FL VR 1/800s .......Yes this was in error, more like 1/1800s was required, but felt the sharpness stands up to fair scrutiny. f/8 ISO200@ 200mm Cheers Marc |
