Hello TP - brand new to this world of forums (fora?), but I am soon to realise a lifetime ambition (I hope) of photographing a tiger in the wild.

Only, I'm going to need some help, because I really, really don't want to mess it up! It seems to me that you are a fairly laid-back crew who might accept my comparative lack of skills and resources - but I'm willing to learn (and thereby prove that you can teach an old dog new tricks).

So, I will give what help and support I can to other members (which, I feel will principally be of a non-technical nature) and hope right now that someone can point me to the correct forum to discuss what glass to use to capture my (literally) once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Thank you.
 
Hi :wave:

Welcome to TP :thumbs:

As for lens I took my 500mm on safari with me a couple of weeks ago,

anything 400 and over will be good, depends how close you expect to get to them, maybe a 50 mm lens :naughty: to close :D
 
Hi,

Welcome to the forum and you are one lucky bloke. Enjoy your holiday. I just saw a tiger too, actually it was two of them but they were in the zoo so didn't really need to long lens.
 
Thank you for your welcomes - I shall now head off to try to find some detailed information.
 
:welcome: to TP :wave:

Getting decent photos of Tigers in the wild is always going to be a challenge and really will all be about having a lens with enough reach - 400mm +

You might find you'll get more responses if you pop the question in the Talk Photography forum :)
 
As far as I am aware, shooting Tigers in Africa is probably the safest job in the world.

However, shooting them in India - where they live - is a different matter! Thanks for the suggestion - maybe I'll look into a Sigma 33mm AK45!
