Hi All,

This was about the most interesting shot I could muster from a day trip to Skomer. I could have used multiple frames and panning as this little fella barely moved for 5 mins. I thought he was stuffed at first :wink:

Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II
1/160 sec @ F8
ISO: 100
EF16-35mm L @ 16mm
Tripod
Pano-cropped 2.5:1

I'm really getting into pano format images. SEE www.enwp.co.uk/gallery/panoramic . I love the wide aspect and feel it really suits wildlife and landscaes far better than 3:2 ror 4:3. Not for everyone though, I know. All comments welcomed...

Hello Elliot
I agree, these pano shots do seem more interesting and many seem to tell a story too.
Your web site is excellent, I have just enjoyed a long visit there.
Best wishes

Love it in all respects. This format is great and you're doing it a huge justice. Must get a wide angle lens now!!! :rolleyes:

Website is good too. :toast: :toast:

Hello Elliot

Nice shot - for me though, just a tad more punch in the colour required. (Although maybe my laptop screen is not doing it justice?)

Regards

Antony

Really nice, I like this view, I think your tiger shots are very beautiful. It's great to see the animals enviroment, I guess supreme stalking techniques or planning with remote systems are required.

Thanks all for commenting. Further thanks to those that took the time to have a look through my other images. Always appreciated.

Tim: No stalking or tricky remote kit necessary. All my tiger images were taken safely from a jeep or from elephant back (not so safe) in Bandhavgarh National Park, Madya Pradesh, India. Its my second home! I have a huge stock of wild tiger images so its always a challenge to photograph them in different ways.

All the best,

Elliott

Might not be for everyone but it sure is for me :toast: :toast:

Superb Elliott. This really shows the environment off well and I agree with the pano format and this angle is excellent.
