Description
This is a Siberian Tiger. Photo taken at the West Coast Game Park in Bandon, OR. I think he's absolutely beautiful. He was definately a little grouchy that day though, I feel lucky that I managed to get a shot of him looking so demure.
This photo is for my Daddy (*Lagneb ), a tiger lover, and the person who has encouraged my interest in photography from the beginning.
Love you, Daddy!Technical Info:
Film: 200 speed colour negative film (scan from print)
Lens: I'm pretty sure I used my 35-105mm zoom, and I think I zoomed all the way in to get this shot through a fence. I can't remember either the shutter speed or f-stop for sure, but I think my shutter was about 1/125, and about f-5.6. I might have been more open than that though.
Weather/lighting: overcast, mid morning.
Post-processing: Photoshop for borders, levels adjustments, and dedusting.

Thank you. This was a fun shot. I shot through a hole in a fence in a tiger enclosure, so I was pretty close. They're such beautiful creatures.

I don't mind at all. I actually have this image available in a larger size in my stock account: ~Kyndelfire-stock . Your painting is lovely.

I think the blur is the result of the filter I used in post processing to clean up some of the grain.
Thank you.

Thank you honey. Nice photo. Possibly a little under-exposed. Since you photoshopped a little I think I would have brought out the eyes a little more if possible.
Love you.

I was kinda wondering about that. I noticed that when I imported the image from photoshop, the colours weren't as sharp. It's the first time I've noticed that happening from Photoshop to web, and I'm not sure exactly how to correct it other than trial and error. I'll see what I can do to try to dring out those eyes though.
