Eye to eye with pouncing cheeta
One of my friend asked me once, how to take photgraph of a poncing cat. Well if you are thinking of big cats, it is advisable to keep a net between the two of you otherwise the interaction will see one of you badly damaged.
Next thing to remeber is you can not take this photograph as it happens. Cheeta strikes at lightening speed. The action will be over, before you can even click. So only option is be ready and instigate the cat to pounce on you. A low deep roar, will irritate the cat in most of the time. Otherwise, take your chances and approach it barefoot.
What ever it is, the photograph will always remind you the intensity of interaction. For that split second, you will certainly have no other thought. Other than the cat's eyes and you.
