On Safari in South Africa, I was thrilled to be able to capture this tight closeup of a drinking leopard. I wanted to capture the lapping tongue, and therefore I used high speed continuous on my Canon 7D Mark II. The 10 frames per second captured several perfect images. When shooting wildlife, and especially birds, you need a fast frame rate. My Canon 5D Mark III provides 6 frames per second, and in fast moving subjects that's just not enough. The settngs for this shot were 1/500th of a second, f/8, 1000 ISO, and I used the new ultra sharp Canon 100-400mm lens.

Mike Bradaric - Great shot Jim. I wish I was there. How was your ISO set ? Auto or manually.
