Cheetah on the Hunt - African Wildlife Action Photography

Sale price$39.00
Material:
Size:

A cheetah at full stride streaks across the Serengeti, hind legs fully extended and shoulders driving forward as the grass blurs around the body. In a full sprint the cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) covers more than twenty feet per stride and can reach close to seventy miles per hour, sustaining that pace for only a few hundred yards before overheating forces the chase to end. A wide aperture and fast shutter freeze the airborne body while the foreground dissolves into streaks of dry plain, holding the cat sharp against motion. A photograph of the moment evolution built this animal for — flat out, in motion across the open.
