Tiger Leaps in to the water! I'm going to really miss these guys ;(
The keeper put the keg in the water, and the cats paced around for a while, and then this one went in the water! One of the other cats already went in and came out by this point.
I also heard yesterday and confirmed today that these three tigers are leaving the National Zoo this month :( :( :( They're going to Denver I think, and the National Zoo is going to try to get these guys' parents to breed again in time for a spring birth.
From the National Zoo in Washington D.C. 12/04/2005.
(DSC_3125NR_filtered)
Neat Image used to filter out some noise. Nikon D70s, Nikon 70-300mm f/4-5.6. I'm not sure, but I think I may have had the polarizer on. I had it on and off for a bit in this time frame, ~1pm.
Exif data removed by Neat Image: Exposure: 1/250, Aperture: f/8, Focal Length: 190mm, Flash: Flash fired, auto mode (Nikon SB-800 w/shield-diffuser), ISO Speed: 200
I guess 1/250th wasn't fast enough! There's still a bit of blur.
Added to the Cream of the Crop pool as Most views as of 3/6/2006.
*updated 9/26/2006 By far one of the favorite images I've taken, thanks so much to flickr for the feedback and encouragement!
