Soaking wet Cheetahs.

It is not always sunny in Kenya as this image shows. It poured down on several afternoons this year which represented another challenge photographically.

There was no way that I was going back to camp, even though the teaming rain looked set for the rest of the day. The Cheetahs were moving so I stayed to watch and record their behaviour, inching the ISO up as it got darker.


There are more images from this years Kenya trip HERE


C&C welcome.

Hi Austin, this is a great moment, captured very well. A really lovely shot!

Fantastic! Proves the point that the best images are to be found in adverse conditions. I can't make my mind up which facial expression I prefer! Not too sure about the colours though - they look a little red (maybe the effect of the rain?).

Excellent. You could even have two seperate images from this one frame as both animals would stand alone in an image. I particularly like the cat on the left shaking the rain off and would love to see a portrait orientation of it on it's own.

a great image Love the fact its raining the colour does look fine to me though

Excellent!, the rain really makes this shot
Well done.

Geoff.

Wonderful Austin the expression on the cheetahs faces makes it for me

Beautiful...Shots in the rain are great....as yourself and Paul have proved.

Stunning behaviour shot and one that would do well in a National Geographic magazine!

Great shot Austin. Nice to see it's not only raining in Holland. :)

Another great shot in the rain. I had thought a little dark,but lighten it and you lose some of the mood.Good to see something a little different.

Great shot Autin - lovely expressions
