Again - taken through thick, milky glass. I'm surprised it was save-able at all. I love snow leopards!

V1M very kindly organised for me to go to the Wildlife Heritage Foundation in Kent for a Photographers on Safari day. This meant access inside the normal outer barriers that visitors are normally restricted behind, and enabled me to get right up against the inner enclosure, with camera lens as close as could be to the main enclosure. As well as our photographic instructor - John Wright - on hand to advise on technique, we also one of the cats' keepers, Becky, to tempt the animals out of hiding and into more photogenic positions with some tasty bits of meat.

 

As some of you will know I am a bit of a fan of animals and big cats in particular so I was rather in my element! Not only did I get some rather lovely photos of some gorgeous animals, but just being at such close quarters with them for the whole day was wonderful in itself.

Who knew a leopard's tongue was so long?

My first experience of blending textures + original image in Photoshop.

 

The Leopard shot was taken at Edinburgh Zoo.

 

The texture image itself was just a shot of a white/cream painted window ledge in which the paint was now very flakey.

 

I've created layer mask, copied the texture into this layer mask then blended this together using blend mode and the overlay selection. Initially at 40%, then repeated at 100%. I've then used the brush tool to remove the texture over the Leopard itself.

I've never seen this Amur Leopard as active as on this day (not sure if this is Skodgee or Zane). It was up and down the various levels chasing a crow above its enclosure. After a while I came to the conclusion that the crow was taking the piss, as it kept returning after being chased off. :-) A lovely change from seeing these beauties just lying around looking pretty.

After the adult warthogs moved on, the leopard was able to retrieve its kill.
