Back at the end of June, I pulled a card from my D300s DSLR trail cam at the ‘big cat trailhead’ and when I looked, I did not see anything so I threw the card in the with the rest of my CF cards.

It was somehow put into my D3s but fortunately I did not format it. After doing some work while in the forest last week, I pulled both cards (Nikon D3s had two CF card slots) and downloaded them.

Imagine my surprise…! There was a male leopard and he had been captured at night while walking past the D300s. Where the heck did that come from…?

I guess my short-term memory is on the blink. Unfortunately, the other two flashes were dead creating a horrible shadow…!

Needless to say, I’m lucky I did not lose these shots and of course, shot No: 6 is my favorite…enjoy…!
