Description

This small wild Cat is about the same size of a domestic cat and lives in desert regions. Taken through glass in dim light giving a slow shutter speed of 1/30th @ f/6.3, ISO 400. I used a monopod to steady the 100-400 lens and placed the lens hood gently against the glass to further steady the camera, this also reduced ant chance of reflections affecting the image. Taken at Marwell Zoo, Hampshire, UK.
