It was my first time in an overnight hide and I was incredibly nervous, having never shot in the dark before. I wait what seemed like hours before, a whisper of movement caught my eye. A leopard! It was cautiously making it's way to drink, completely silent. I held my breath and even tried to stilled my heart and I pressed the shutter. I was totally shocked that I captured a shot, and thrilled beyond belief.
