Album Description:

Photos taken in the Santago Rare Leopard Project Sanctuary. Most of the beautiful furry guests are involved in breeding programmes to preserve their rare species. For a cat lover, it's a paradise. I took 1950 photos in 5 hours :o) And kept these 52 only!

  • Amazing and wonderful snaps, tks v/much

    said  of purukuniyil purukuniyil 1 months 19 days ago

  • Oh Roberto, if they could only breed in the wild. Watching the rain forests being decimated in New Guinea to rip out the timber, I can only guess how difficult it is for these beautiful cats to survive, for they need territory, food and shelter. And we simply do not care what happens to their habitat so long as our immediate, covetous needs are satisfied.

  • I'm so jealous of these photos! I would love to get some good big cat photos! Thank you for your kind comment on my sunrise photo, I appreciate it. That was taken looking from my back yard to my neighbors' backyards. It was a case of going outside at just the right moment. I just happened upon it and ran for my camera. It was a huge blessing. Thank you also for the explanation on the HDR. I appreciate it! Have a great day!

  • Thank you for sharing this amazing collection. You have certainly captured some outstanding shots of these wonderful cats but it is disappointing to think that they are all enclosed in a sanctuary although going by the looks of their faces they all seem very content. Hopefully the breeding programme will be successful.

My new camera is an Olympus E510/ 2 normal lenses and a 140/600mm lens. Good camera,but maybe I should have looked closer at the E3 since it's fully waterproof.

  • The Black Panther photo is awesome. Well, actually, they all are - not fair to single out any particular one. I need to start culling some of my photos - when an expert like you keeps less than 3%. Of course your standards are much closer to perfection than mine. At any rate, fantastic album. Carol

    said  of albertsville albertsville 2008.05.05 at 11:11:16 PDT

    said  of TRUCKINDAMA1 TRUCKINDAMA1 2008.05.04 at 18:13:43 PDT

  • 1950 foto in tre ore??? Potrei fare di peggio LOL!!! Ormai parto con 160 giga di disco aggiuntivo al mio portatile. Credo di essere patologia! Devo imparare a fare come te. Devo SELEZIONARE. Scherzi a parte, sono parecchie le foto veramente buone!

    said  of dcrrld dcrrld 2008.05.04 at 13:55:28 PDT

  • come si puo' non amare i felini? Cosi' belli, eleganti, dignitosi, espressivi... Solo mi fa male vederli in gabbia, li vedo come gli uccelli, il simbolo dell'indipendenza e della liberta'...se non ci credi prova a farti ubbidire da un gatto, se non vuole niente lo piega al tuo volere. Ed è proprio quello che amo in loro, nei loro occhi leggi amore e non obbedienza cieca. - Che dire delle tue foto? Riescono a incatenarmi al video... - Un abbraccio - Paola

  • This album is so fantastic. You captured such wonderful faces and expressions. Sadie is truly beautiful and I would love to cuddle with Kahn. I can't imagine keeping only 52 out of 1950. I'd love to see what you didn't keep. Anyway, this has been a real joy to view and your dedication to these beautiful creatures shows in your work. Gloria

    said  of snafu555 snafu555 2008.05.02 at 08:51:51 PDT

  • First, I must say what beautiful creatures these animals are. Somehow you want to be friends with them and give them a nice big belly rub. You have done a fantastic job of capturing their beauty. These are wild creatures and as such can be dangerious, but you still have to love them for their beauty. Thanks for sharing with us. I love the high resolution shots, they make beautiful 8 1/2 x 11 pictures that we shall enjoy for many years to come. Keep up the good work and God Bless you and your eye with the camera.

  • Since you took 1950 pictures and decided on these 52 (which I loved them all so they are now my cat collection of screesavers) could you possibly do another album or one album for each of the cats. All of these are just AWSOME AND AMAZING. I would like to thank you for sharing these beautiful animals and the pictures with the rest of us on webshots who may never in their lifetime be able to actually look at one of these fantastic creatures up close.

Mio caro Roberto, questo non è un album, è una delizia! ;0) Ebbene si, lo ammetto, sono innamorata dei mici di tutte le taglie e questi ritratti sono assolutamente magnifici! Che espressioni! WOW! Mhhhh! a dire il vero troppo troppo vicina a quei dentini non mi vorrei trovare, ma non sai quanto mi piacerebbe poter provare a scattare delle foto a questi stupendi animali! Oh beh! tanto non sono brava come te, per cui mi va bene a anche ammirare i tuoi splendidi scatti e continuare a sognare! Grazie Roberto! Un abbraccissimo! Simonetta
