Description

1/125s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso800 handheld.

This was taken at the Royal Melbourne Zoo. I wanted to capture the intensity of the tiger as well as the movement, but as the tiger is quite far away from the viewing area it is not always an easy task. The Tiger exhibit is also quite dark and gloomy so it is always a challenge.
