Another shot of the cautious drinker. I went to Laikipia looking for a black leopard and wild dogs. I hadn’t even considered capturing a cheetah on camera, a rare sighting in those parts.

Male cheetah sitting still and observing in the tall grass, Samburu, Kenya. Gave me plenty of time to play around with different exposures.

This is the male cheetah that I have already posted a few high key shots of. This is when we first caught up with him first thing in the morning and he did move around a little. There were a few cars at the sighting which made it difficult to get a good uncluttered shot as he wove between the vehicles. He didn’t move far.

Another High key shot of the male cheetah sitting still and observing in the tall grass. I had plenty of time to play around with different ideas for the exposure and composition. In this one I also managed to capture something flying in front of him. NOt exactly sure what it is as it’s tiny but I dodged it a little to make it stand out more.

I thought it was about time I started to share my images from March’s trip to Kenya. I went to Laikipia looking for a black leopard and wild dogs. I hadn’t even considered capturing a cheetah on camera, a rare sighting in those parts.
