Description
I believe this is one of about three good cheetah shots I was able to take. I wished that shooting conditions were a lot more favorable. It was a cloudy morning (it started to drizzle about 10 minutes after seeing the cheetahs) and the AF wasn't cooperating so I was forced to shoot on manual.

In this shot, only three of the four cheetah are visible. The mother was further back lying down in the middle of the road. I realized that shooting through the glass wasn't working so well, so I leaned out a bit just in time to catch them walking towards us. The didn't come all the way up to the car, because they seemed to have taken interest in something way in the bush.

Taken in:
Kruger National Park, South Africa
