Cheetah mother and cubs

Aug 11 2026 | By: Jim Zuckerman Photography

What's interesting about this image of a mother cheetah and her two cubs is that it was taken about 11 o'clock in the morning with bright sunlight. Fortunately for me, the large bush behind the cats blocked the direct sun and I was able to capture this image as if I had a cloud cover. The clouds you see in the background were added in Photoshop; they seemed appropriate given that the cheetahs were shaded by the bush, and I wanted to eliminate the clear blue sky. I took this with a Canon 500mm f/4 telephoto, and the settings were 1/500, f/8, and 1250 ISO.
