23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Wildlife
The Pilibhit Charger - 01

Pilibhit situated in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. is known to be home to some of the largest Royal Bengal Tigers in India. This photo is from a batch of 90 images that I managed to get in focus, of the Bhimtal Male as he was charging us. With the 20fps RAW limit of the Nikon Z9, I managed to get 90 out a 100 frames in focus. Says a lot about the capabilities of the camera and where technology is headed.
