Bacchi in Water Hole

Bacchi in Water Hole
Bandhavgarh National Park India, 1996
I used unmanned cameras triggered by an infra red beam to take pictures of tigers from very close range at hidden waterholes that I knew they had to visit in the very hot dry season. This gave me my most intimate and natural look at an animal that prefers not to be seen. In this image Bacchi,Sita’s grown female cub, trys to cool off and get a drink from a stagnant pool just before the onset of the much needed monsoon season."
