Leopard at Qing-zang Plateau

Rising to form the roof of the world, the Qing-zang Plateau's immense open grasslands and arid steppe give photographers a rare chance to work with leopards against a backdrop of high-altitude wilderness unlike anywhere else in Tibet. November's conditions bring a clarity of light across this elevated terrain, well suited to capturing the vastness of the landscape alongside the animal itself. Travellers joining the Tibetan Wildlife of the Qing-Zang Plateau holiday should come prepared for the demands of shooting at such extreme elevation, where patience is rewarded amid the open steppe. Framing wide to include the plateau's scale can help convey just how remote and expansive this roof of the world truly is.
