Ah, I see what you mean....... do you do that with photoshop? - I'm using a film camera and not digital...... does that make a difference?
Here's the camera shake shot I mentioned...... and yes, I really was that close! The two shots were taken in RSA and the Lion is one of two (fully grown) brothers who had been hand reared and then released into the bush to live wild. (ish). They were still habituated to man and I bumped into them one day when I was out walking with the guy who had reared them....... guess I got lost in the lens a bit and just kept shooting pictures. The subject walked right up to me as I was kneeling down and sniffed the lens. (1st shot) then he yawned and I took the opportunity of putting my lens into his mouth for the second shot...... until then I was nice and steady but as I took the shot his brother who had snuck up behind me, licked the back of my neck.......hence the camera shake!....... scared the life out of me. Had the guy who reared them not been with me, I obviously wouldn't have taken the chances I did........ I appreciate they're beyond saving, but thought it might be fun to post them for comment anyway.
