Really nice stuff - thanks for all the contributions. I just returned from a two week European wild cat tour (six zoos/parks). Here is one (black leopard) from the group photo workshop at Wildlife Heritage Foundation in southern England (near Ashford). Really a worthwhile experience if you are ever in the area. They do three different tours, mine was the least expensive at 149 pounds. This is for a group of ten where you go right up to the fences and they throw meat to entice the cats to walk towards the camera. They also do a smaller group tour for only four people for 249 pounds, where they do the same plus go inside a couple small cat enclosures. Then they have an individual tour for 500 pounds where you have the staff all to yourself and tell them which animals you want to photograph.

Here is the link to their website. Click on the photography tab at the top to see the different offerings.

Some of mine from Frankfurt Main (Germany)

1. 5D Mark III + 100-400
2. G1X
3 and 4: 30D + Sigma 50-500

The tiger in 2 looks quite sad.

Love 3 and 4. 3 looks just about to pounce.

Since I was a kid I loved all the big cats, esp tigers. So sad that they most likely will become extinct in the wild soon.
