African Leopards

James Tyrell: " My biggest struggle is usually making myself put down the camera; when the light is this amazing it’s hard to not want to take one more shot when the animal adjusts its position even slightly. “Just one more” becomes a ridiculous self-defeating mantra you find yourself repeating over and over in your head. It’s kind of like ice-cream at the end of a big meal. You’ll always have room for it, even though it’s not necessarily what’s best for you. Not too sure where I’m going with this, but it’s good to acknowledge that wildlife photography can be a great exercise in self-control. Take the photos you need and then just appreciate. "

The next one will always be better... False illusion, we want these moments to be an eternity.
