Congratulations! This is the Image of the Week selection for the Wildlife Gallery, week ending 16th March, 2012!8.02pm

I spent over two hours with these 3 month old leopard cub pair (the other higher up) whilst an electrical storm raged close by in the hope that mum may show, not to be unfortunately.
But captured some nice images using just a vehicle spot light, high iso and minus EV settings.

D700 70-200VRII 1/640s f/7 ISO 1600@ 200mm -2.3EV Chipela Chayumba region, Northern Mfuwe. Sth Luangwa NP- Zambia. Nov 2011

C & C most welcome

Cheers
Marc

Love Leopards! Nice spotlighting, leaving a striking black BG! Sweet cub!

Marc, nice job. I found some of the nighttime leopard photography quite challenging, even with the help of spotlights. Well done and congrats on getting a youngster to boot!

The spotlight is perfect for this precious clinging cub perched up in the tree, the dark night is the perfect bg - print it large and hang it on your wall Marc!

Really cute and an amazing photograph. Who would have thought this would turn out so good using a spotlight in the dark! The lighting is perfect for the little cub clinging to the limb in the dark. Nice.
