Filming SNOW LEOPARDS in Ladakh | THE WHITE PANTHER with Kenneth Lawrence Ep1 - WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY

Snow Leopard Wildlife Series - The White Panther & the Beasts of Snow - Episode I (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 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 1, we’ll meet a Snow Leopard mother and cub and discover the secrets of survival in one of the world’s most challenging terrains. We’ll observe first-hand how the young cub learns the ropes of life in the wild.
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 these 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!
