I was poised to make history. I'd
built up some confidence with those elephants, and I had
snapped off a quick full-wide and full-zoom sequence and was
quite in-expertly changing lenses, getting ready to grab a beautiful
telephoto shot that would make this textbook example complete
when the tiger, somehow, uncannily sensed my presence.
After turning his back, he spent the next half hour passed
out in the grass. Even the very patient film photographer next
to me got bored and left. I tried, believe me, but if it were
this easy every time, we'd all be working for National
Geographic. |

The last is full zoom + Teleconverter.
Clearly, a cropped version of the non-Teleconverter shot above
would be a much better photo than this one, but maybe I can suggest
the potential of being able to fill the frame with your
subject using a Teleconvertor, even if I can't get this particular
tiger interested in the subject. |
ABOVE - Full Zoom with the Teleconverter installed. I hate to
say it, but this big cat was lazy. He stood up just long enough
to turn over and sun the other side.
