Description
And another close up, this time of a male cheetah. I think I need a macro lens for animal photography
Comments and Critiques are much appreciated

Thanks but it's not a macro, just a close up. Macro would be much closer.

And...how, exactly, did you get this shot? I'm assuming that you must trust these wild cats an awful lot. Incredible photography! Truly a masterpiece! And I never thought I would be saying that about a tongue!

Those long, sharp & straight teeth reminds me of a saber-tooth.

Is the main focus the tongue or the teeth?

On the tongue for his papillae which are like a rasp. It's amazing, these larger cats can make you bleed by just licking ones hands.

With lots of patience, a long lens and a bit luck. If the cheetah brothers are close to the fence, they're mostly too close too get a photo without visible fence but this time I had enough luck that one stayed not too close to the fence.

Thank you very much. Nowadays, you have to look for something especial, something others haven't or have barely photographed to try to stand out with it. That is everything but easy because of so many people with cameras.

Danke, aber Makro ist es noch nicht. Dafür ist der Abbildungsmaßstab noch zu gering und das Objektiv ist auch nicht in der Lage auf einen ausreichend großen Abbildungsmaßstab zu kommen um die damit möglichen Aufnahmen als Makro bezeichnen zu können. Mit nem Makroobjektiv hätte man aber auch im Nahbereich mehr Schärfe, dafür wäre es klasse.

:3 Ich meinte, vom Abbildungsmaßstab her. Weiß ja, dass es noch nicht wirklich Makro ist. Trotzdem sieht es wirklich klasse aus :3 gefällt!
