Leucistic Bengal tiger - Panthera tigris bengalensis. He is one handsome chap, isn't he?

Nikon D40. The camera doesn't matter as much as the lens and the person behind the viewfinder ;)

dang gavin! nice work man. love the tiger too. but i will say that giraffes are not boring!:( those are my favorite mammalian anaimal.:D haha. nice pics though man, thanks for sharing! also what lens did you use?
Thanks Cody. :) I used a Nikkor Micro 105mm (actually a macro lens) and a Nikkor 55-200mm (a telephoto lens). They were borrowed though.

awsome. hows that 105mm? god i want one bad. just cant afford it, plain and simple. i have the 70mm to 300mm lens(not great but ok) but i really like a 35 to 55 mm and a 80 to 200mm both killer but outrageous prices.
At least you have more than one lens. ;)

The 105 is a fantastic lens - very sharp, very fast. But like you said, expensive of course.

Hey Gavin,

I really like these shots, especially of the white tigers. Are there any hyenas in the zoo?

Glad to hear that. :)

No, they don't have hyenas. Who likes hyenas anyway - they bully the cheetahs!

Awesome photos.

I myself primarily use a Sigma 105mm Macro Lens and was wondering if the Nikkor is any better? I have noticed my Sigma is a bit slow to focus unless the subject is almost completely still.

Also, I don't think those Tigers are leucistic....from what I know, "leucistic" means an animal that is completely white (patternless) and has either black or blue eyes.....at least, thats how it is with reptiles.

The photos of the jaguars are really incredible. I'd like to use them as desktops, if that's okay.
