Hi Labdoc!Labdoc said:
Interesting pic, esp. because of the UV light.
I can understand, that you killed that scorpion after it stung you.
I would have been happier if you could have avoided that.
But that's me, living in Germany, having just one rare species living here.
In countries where they are so many to be called vermin the point of view differs of course.
PS.: I hope you are well and didn't suffer from the stings.

I agree Dustin, it is a wonderful place. I have some nice grey wolves shots during a snow storm. The new black wolves are really beautiful, their eyes are splendid.
I'm just wondering about the framing of the arctic wolf in this photo. Would you have framed him a bit more the the left so it's not as centered? Also, does the kind of darker bar at the top should be removed, from your point of view?
Thanks

Wow! Lovely shot. RESPECT!mycanonphotos said:
If I did that on my bike (read motorcycle) it would skid badly and then when the front brakes took effect, I would go flying over the handlebar...

Thanks Ray!
I just got lucky with her looking right at me. Having a camera that can shoot at 10 fps helped me attain this shot along with my 100-400 IS II & 7D II... As some may or may not know the Cheetah chases a small tethered stuffed animal down a 300 foot long corridor at high speed. Once the cage door opens from the bed of a golf cart style truck as this takes only about 5-6 seconds. Being my first time there and only seeing other photos in the past I chose to stand to the left at the end of the track and zoom down coming at me, I also noticed the "burn" areas in the grass as to where she stops at.. I should have zoomed further down as she was starting so I could have attained better running shots...but as she got to about 260'-270' she put on the brakes and that's when I held the shutter down.. I don't like to hold down at large burst rates so I typically click off 6-7 shot intervals.. I had my focus setting set to objects that accelerate and decelerate quickly.. From her running at full sprint to a cold stop must have been a 1/2 sec to 1 second, it happened fast...she didn't actually stop it was more of a controlled u-turn, my friend was shooting video on his I phone right next to me so once I get that I'll will post it to my FB page.. I chose to go with shutter priority at 1/1250 auto iso as she had to run thru a shadow that was in the middle from a large balloon ride being lowered down...
