Description
Spent a glorious day at the Leipzig Zoo again and met a wonderful fellow deviant (*waves*)!! The most wonderful thing was that there were three little tiger cubs to see not even three months old! And their proud father knew what his fans wanted and gave us proof of what a good swimmer he is!Related content

Thank you. Yes, it is not too often you get granted such a perspective on a bathing tiger.

I wish, LOL! But seriously, thank you for the compliment. To be a professional photographer, I'd need a much better camera and a lot more skill (just look at the pics in National Geographic ). MOst of my shoots I take intuitively; if there's difficult light, I'm usually at my wit's end.

I think this is the biggest compliment I ever received. Wow!! Thank you so much!! I think I've still got a long way to go (and much money to spend) until I'd perhaps end up there, but alone knowing that people like you enjoy my pictures is inspiration enough to enjoy my hobby even more.

Oh yes, and he knows it. Every time he makes his rounds, he teases us whether or not he'll come swimming up to the glass, and you can tell just when he *will*, because he always casts a quick glance over whether there are enough of his fans waiting for him.

Thank you. Yes, he was a very friendly tiger. He came swimming by the window repeatedly and just looked who stood before his enclosure. Not the slightest sign of aggression.

Thank you very much! I blame the tiger for this, entirely though, because he knows what his fans want and gives them the most amazing stuff! He is a wonderful creature and knows that we love him.

A really great capture, I love the pose and the detail on his/her face, its a shame the colours dont appear a bit more vivid, but then again that could just be my screen it does dull them down a bit.

Katzilla13 In reply to TaNgeriNegreeN1986 [2009-06-02 15:03:43 +0000 UTC]
I'll probably have another go at it. It was a very overcast sky and there was a dirty glass window between us, so it isn't perfectly sharp or vivid... but I'll see whether I can cheat...

TaNgeriNegreeN1986 In reply to Katzilla13 [2009-06-02 15:07:46 +0000 UTC]
Oh those annoying glass windows, atleast its not bars though I guess.
Haha well I dont view it as cheating if its possible to do the same effect in the dark room.

I had another go at it last night and think it helped. What do you think? And yeah, the worst thing (making shots absolutely impossible) are those tightly knit wire-fences. I hate those!

Yea it looks much better, more vivid colours it shows off the tigers coat more.
Oh gosh yea why cant they just let us walk in with them haha

I *was* actually standing right in front of him, only seperated by a glass window. A feeling that gives you an antsy feeling in your stomach to watch this majestic animal up close and look it in the eye!

cool :d (in our zoo we have a stone wall and the tigers are 10 feet down or something so I thought every zoo was like that xD lol) I'm sure that wouldn't feel very safe then xD

Katzilla13 In reply to Ewwiej [2009-06-02 10:09:25 +0000 UTC]
Nope, each zoo is different (at least over here), and Leipzig is one of the zoos with the approach to make everything as close to the animals' environment as possible... without steel-bars or so.
And it's security glass, so I didn't feel unsafe. Plus the tiger was not behaving aggressive at all, he was merely curious.

He's so cute my heart is leaping! The water even looks cool and delicious; very excellent photo. Gah, I can't stop smiling at this! Looks just like my kitty, Bear, when I scratch under his chin, just 100 times bigger, ha ha ha!

Hee hee, yes, I saw some white tigers up close once, and even though they were rubbing and playing and being happy like kitties, I didn't even for a moment want to get any closer or try to touch those bad boys

Katzilla13 In reply to StudioMikarts [2009-06-02 10:32:53 +0000 UTC]
Nope. After all, they're predators. I think alone last week two people in zoos died from tiger attacks because they were careless.
