Road Block : Sharing image of a massive male tiger named Munna (Its not an official name) from Kisli Zone of Kanha National Park. He is probably around 14 years old (quite old for a wild tiger). By the time we realised that he is directly heading to cross the road in front our our jeep, he was already on the road. I was using 7D MK II with 300 MM prime lens and suddenly realised that i could see only head of the tiger in the frame.
Fortunately (would rather say from similar mistakes / experience in past at Tadoba Tiger reserve) had kept a spare camera, 600D with 70-200 MM lens switched ON. Even at 70 MM, tiger is hardly fitting in the frame.
Exif: Canon 7D MKII + 70-200 F/2.8 IS II lens
F/2.8, IS0 200, Shutter speed 1/800 (better setting would be F /5.6, to get better detail on the tiger as it was very close. May be next time)
