DavidTriplett Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Basic Guidelines: In the strictest sense, nature photography should not include "hand of man elements". Please refrain from images with buildings or human made structures like roads, fences, walls. Pets are not permitted. Captive subjects in zoos, arboretums, or aquariums are permitted, but must be declared, and must focus on the subject, not the captivity. Images with obvious human made elements will likely be deleted from the thread, with an explanation to the photographer. Guidelines are based on PSA rules governing Nature photography which also cover the Nature Forum. Keep your image at/under 1000 pixels on the long axis for in-line viewing. Note that this includes photos hosted off-site at Flicker, Photobucket, your own site, etc. Each member please post no more than just one image to this weekly thread per week. If the information is available, many members appreciate information on your approach to making the image and the names, both common and scientific, of the subject(s). However, while encouraged, these are not required as a component of your contributions. Anemones, Sea Urchins, and other tidepool life. These examples are captive and on display in a marine museum at Tillamook, Oregon, USA. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Doo Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 It was a Vivitar Series I 70~150mm Hmm... a longer lens would make the leopard more recognizable - or did you mean to emphasize on its environment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Doo Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) but my point was the effectiveness of the camouflage. Hmm... it did not camouflage itself very well. ;)and I mis-remembered, it was a ~70-210mm Series 1. Think you still need a longer lens to shoot wildlife But I do like your showing the environment it is in, though the lens can use some sharpness. Think you might have scanned this image from film(?) and the multiple interim processes had done something to the clarity?

Think you might have scanned this image from film(?) and the multiple interim processes had done something to the clarity? 1. It is most definitely a cheetah, although not a mistreater. 2. Of course a longer lens would have been nice, but I did not have one, nor was there time to mount the extender which would have made it more difficult because of the lower light and the loss of stops. This was in early December of 1963, ferchrissakes! 3. It was also on high-speed film, Hi-Speed Ektachrome (ASA 160) so it was grainy. 4. Such flaws as there are, are the faults of the slide, not post-processing (of which there is almost none) nor of the scanning. This, for better or for worse, represents the slide accurately. Why so picky? I'd say mistaking a cheetah for a leopard or a lion is some measure of camouflage:rolleyes: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
