Sumatran Tiger 4

Description

My first submission from the December 30th trip. This female Sumatran Tiger remained in her den for most of the day. I went inside the Orangutan pavilion where you get a clear view of the den. Unfortunately my lens takes a while to defog so I was unable to get shots then.

It was only at the end of the day when she is waiting to go inside that she is out and walking. The problem is, she moves very quickly and by the time you are able to focus her position is off.

I was lucky enough to get a few clear shots. Hopefully next time she will be out of the den and facing me. I need to try a new tactic of catching her (and a few of the other cats in the zoo).

This is also the first shot put up when I was using my SIGMA 70-300mm lens.
