Photographer Uses Camera Trap to Capture World’s Most Elusive Big Cat
Wildlife photographer, Sascha Fonseca, recently posted an incredible picture of a snow leopard, the world's most elusive big cat, using a DSLR camera trap in Ladakh, India.
What It Takes to Photograph the Ultra-Rare Snow Leopard

Is Your Camera Keeping You From Experiencing Life’s Precious Moments?
Yesterday we shared a cringeworthy short film about how photo sharing has altered the way we experience the special moments in our lives; instead of being in the moment and enjoying it, it's easy to get caught up with making sure it's caught on camera (and perhaps shared on social media).
The 2-minute movie clip above shows a different outlook on life and photography. It's from the film "The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty," and features actor Sean Penn as a photographer named Sean O'Connell.
The Incredible Story Behind the First Ever Photos of a Snow Leopard Making a Kill
When it comes to wildlife photography, the Snow Leopard is almost unicorn-like. No, it's not mythical, but it's almost as hard to capture one of these infamous "gray ghosts of the Himalayas" on camera as it is to track down a creature that doesn't actually exist.
Imagine, then, how amazed the people on a recent INDRI Ultimate Wildlife Tour were when they got to watch AND photograph a Snow Leopard making a successful kill -- a world's first.
