Filming SNOW LEOPARDS in Ladakh | THE WHITE PANTHER with Kenneth Lawrence Ep2 - WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY

Snow Leopard Wildlife Series - The White Panther & the Beasts of Snow - Episode II (Wildlife Photography)
Three years after my first Snow Leopard photography expedition in Spiti Valley, Himachal Pradesh, I embarked on another thrilling adventure to wild Indian Himalayas (in April 2023) to film and photograph them. This time, my destination was Uley, Ladakh, and my goal was to try and capture a Snow Leopard hunt on camera.
In episode 2 of The White Panther, we'll continue to follow a snow leopard mother and her year-old cub, and witness up close, the survival choices that she must make when an intruding male enters her territory. Will the mother walk away with her cub or will she fight back and reclaim her stolen ibex?
Focusing largely on educational and awe-inspiring moments, "The White Panther" is more than a wildlife series - it's a testament to the resilience and adaptability of our magnificent beasts.

Filmed on the Canon R5C and RF 800mm f5.6 L IS USM. With Snow Leopards sightings being as far as a mile away from me, even 1600mm with the 2x RF extender fell heavily short. Thanks to the super 35 crop mode on my 8k sensor, we were able to reach a filmable focal length of 2400mm in 5.9k RAW. Scaling that on a 4K DCI timeline, we reached an equivalent of 3360mm. Yeah, Snow Leopards can be far, man!
