Tiger shots from the zoo

Nice shots, may just have to do a little more in Post Processing to bring it out etc. Here is a quick play of one of them.

YES, what you did really makes the pic look better... I see what you did to it, but what post processing method did you use? curves in photoshop?

Normally take most of my images into NX2 , did a contrast adjustment on it and lightened the center to bring attention to the face and did a vignette of the area around him to help in bringing the attention as well.

Thanks for pointing that out... I surely didn't think about getting the reflection in that shot... thanks!!!

Always study the shot before you shoot

This is usually a fantastic idea. However, with a tiger, in a zoo, you can't exactly tell him, "Oh hold it there while I study this shot" lol But definitely learn to look for different shots as fast as you can. And turn the camera is a quick way to change the feeling of the shot and should be done on a regular basis. I have trouble myself of "Seeing" the shot. I am a terrible photographer. I need to work on studying the shot before I pull the trigger as well...

When your a sports shooter it is quick and easy
