Meet Schika....

[Andrew Ravani]

Allright - I'll say it - cat breath.

 

[Yang Liu]

A tiger!

 

[Antoine MARTEAU]

Dangerous testing!
But very impressive! Superb!...

Can always play safe with the Red cam book

 

[Denis Haineault]

I like this RED stuff, but tigers are my favorite animal....so wow !!

 

[Zac C]

Look at all the moire!!.... oh wait, this isn't the 5d

 

[C.H.Haskell]

bravo, this looks fantastic...nice work to those involved, let us know when this exhibit opens so I can check out the motion! Cheers.

 

[Jeff Coatney]

Nice Kitty. Purrrrrrr!

 

[Richard Foster]

Beautiful! Made me think of Rudyard Kipling and of course, William Blake:


William Blake. 1757–1827

489. The Tiger

TIGER, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,
And water'd heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee?

Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

 

[David Battistella]

...then leopard,
...then panther,
...then snow leaopard...

Hehe, great shot, looking pretty GOOD, nice to see you guys playing with such beauties.. not that I have something against Lizards and all but I'm more of a Pussy Cat kind of guy

 

[Jon B.]

Was there any grading on this still? Looks marvelous.

 

[Steve Wake]

Looks fantastic!

f11 and the shoulder is blurred! So how close were you? Focal length?

Schika's trainers must have really gained your confidence. Tigers can leap 20 to 30 feet. Maybe they told you that after the shoot.

 

[Sanjin Jukic]

Excellent shot!

 

[Gene Crucean]

1/48th, 24fps, F11, ISO 800. Canon 70-200mm 2.8 is II.

What was it like to shoot with this lens?

 

[Antoine Fabi]

I dont want to be the guy who holds the focus chart man...

You're crazy.

That image is so clean and sharp, it's just ridiculous.

I noticed that the background was mostly green, so I gave the key a whirl.
Considering this is a compressed 8 bit JPG, I'm amazed at how well it keyed.

I dropped Schika into a slightly more natural setting than downtown Hollywood:

 

[Kevin Olsen]

ya'll must have great insurance plans!

 

[Deanan]

That image is so clean and sharp, it's just ridiculous.

It's insanely sharp at 40ft on the 4k projector.

 

[Jeff Kilgroe]

I refuse to believe any of this until you ship me a camera!

 

[Felix K.]

I Tawt I Taw A Puddy Tat!
