We were facing the water hole where she lives and she sneaked up behind us. I took several photos with the GH2 and the 100 - 300 zoom when I saw her and then, remembering some one's (Steve Barbour's?) request for wide angle pictures of tigers, I picked up the Fuji X100 and fired off three shots. This was the best one 1/200 f4.0 ISO 200. 23mm (35mm equivalent) http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Ranth2012/T16HomeW.jpg.html http://tinyurl.com/74cz8mj Machli is the queen of Ranthambhore and she and her children (T17 and Broken tail) have been in many TV series. She is getting old and the BBC TV crew was at Ranthambhore preparing to film their final series with her. Machli's daughter (T17) was my first tiger sighting two years ago and I was happy to see her a couple of times this visit as well. Those pictures will come later. Please look large and enjoy. C&C always welcome Howard
