Spent a day this week with friends photographing leopards in a private reserve in North Herts. Organised through Photographers on Safari four of us had the place to ourselves to photograph to our heart’s content. Our guide, John Wright, gave us hints and tips all day, luring the cats into photographically convenient paths to let us capture what we could. With occasional breaks where we reviewed the previous shots and took further advice it was a wonderful day and a rare chance to get really close rather than have to deal with the enhanced safety measures at a public park.
Despite coming away with many hundreds of shots very few are really worth keeping except as an object lesson to myself in how I get things wrong. That said, some of them are really nice, a few can be found below.
