Filming SNOW LEOPARDS in Ladakh | THE WHITE PANTHER with Kenneth Lawrence - Ep 2/3

Snow Leopard Wildlife Series - The White Panther & the Beasts of Snow
In episode 2 of The White Panther, we'll continue to follow the 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!

A snow leopard mother must make a difficult survival choice after an intruding male enters her territory and steals her ibex catch. Will she walk away with her year-old cub or decide to challenge the intruder and fight for what's rightfully hers? No matter her decision, the safety of her lone surviving cub must be paramount.

Seems like Kenneth remembered his yt account’s password😂

[@dpmvideos1]

Yeah probably 😅.... Waited eagerly for the documentaries 🤩🤩.... Finally ❤️

[@astralarts93]

😂

[@DivineWildlife2882]

Ha ha ha

[@Yash-yl7vg]

This is what Wildlife photography/ Videography is and should be like. No one gaps you in the narration part. The finely picked background music is music to my ears.

[@AkshitaSLawrence]

This is amazing, Hubs! So good to see your blood and sweat come to life! Scripting, recording, editing - you did it all! And those 3:30 am wake-up calls? You’re the best! Love you loads, Babe! 🎉❤

[@vivaanbhimani7303]

Stunning as usual!!! No words, Ken! You tempt us too much for the next ep.😫

[@soumaSR]

The White Panther II - Kenneth strikes back

[@arijitsarkar977]

Excellent capture. In such harsh conditions, takes a lot to film the events.

[@amitm3]

With today's social media being full with fake, cheesy, and nonsense content, this channel is a breath of fresh air. Not only the production quality is great, it's also educational, no-nonsense, engaging, and thrilling. The only downside is that this channel tests your patience a lot :D , but having said that it is not a cakewalk to produce a wildlife series where most of the elements are not in your control.

[@souradeepchakraborty7969]

A cinematic masterpiece as always! Your work is truly inspiring. The choice of BGM, the narration, everything is just spot-on !!

[@mg5904]

Absolutely brilliant, sir! The photography, the pacing, the script, the music… inspiring me to buy a camera and get back into photography. Thank you.

[@rajhansenterprises5117]

I was eagerly waiting for this episode.....finally... Thanks Kenneth for this beautiful capture 👍

[@soumakbinduwildlife]

Excellent waiting for the last one

[@jugalgogoi5170]

I have been an admirer of Wildlife Photography - Documentaries. And i have never come across an Indian doin' it so perfectly. Just! While scrolling. I randomly came across your stuff. Yes! It's amazing. Keep exploring, Keep improvising. I happen to be a fan of 'Morten Hilmer'. So that is my taste. Love from Assam!

[@joncothranphotography9375]

Another wonderful video from an absolutely wonderful film maker! Thanks!

[@KennethLawrencePhotography]

Thank you for the kind words,my friend.

[@nissannissan3750]

Sir Kenneth, huge fan from Nepal, your documentaries and narration is on next level, Netflix needs you 😄😄

[@timnightingale4325]

Long time coming, but well worth waiting for. Hop the next one comes soon. Great work, Kenneth.

[@KennethLawrencePhotography]

Thank you very much, Tim. Glad you enjoyed the episode. I'm currently traveling for a month-long documentary film shoot and I'll return to work on the editing of Ep3 in September.

[@nettayaw2231]

Been waiting in anticipation for this episode and as expected it’s EPIC. Planning a trip to snow leopard lodge and prepared for not sighting leopards. Been reading that some made several trips before successful sighting

[@Wildlife_moments_by_prajyot]

[@KennethLawrencePhotography]

[@bryanashford5118]

blown away again by your video and photograhy time and effort you put in is world class really cant wait for more

[@rudrapreeyam]

I really like your craft mate. When ever I feel down, I come to see your craft. It gives me a sense of refreshment that, the world is beyond our imagination. It's so much beautiful and challenging at the same time. I am a big fan of your story telling. Your channel is something that toppers used to hide from other students of the class.

[@maryloucoelho4459]

Awesome capture Kenny! We enjoyed watching it. Good luck on ur next video 🙌🤗💕

[@kristylbhesania1037]

Superb Kenneth. The film is world class. I love all your films and waited eagerly for this one. Really fabulous and I enjoyed your film production, your narration and the photography.

[@dattatreyams6912]

Short of words, really. Just scintillating stuff

[@rakeshtripathi4532]

Been waiting for months finally! and when will tadoba series come

[@Pikolins]

It’s amazing ... But I like to watch it in 4k 60 fps instead of 30 fps.!!

[@KennethLawrencePhotography]

I love slow-mo too, but some stories need realtime. 😊

[@Mr.GoAndCome]

Thanks for beautiful shot and video. But I also feel jealous of you

[@KennethLawrencePhotography]

Nothing to be jealous about. Chase everything you desire.

[@Mr.GoAndCome]

@@KennethLawrencePhotography thank you so much. I promise i will step by step to chase my dream.

[@AshokChaudhary]

Great work

[@kapilbhallafoto]

Very nicely done

[@Dineshlr10]

Make a natural history of asiatic lion documentary brother

[@jishanali9342]

We want a similar documentary on Himalayan Brown Bear.

[@KennethLawrencePhotography]

Someday for sure. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@AbdulEliyasArif]

Finally, he found his KZbin account password. 😅

[@adangauhar6092]

wooiwww Wooowww ye kaun se gadget se vaaapne shoot kiyaaa hai dear

[@divyatripathi3946]

Tadoba series pls

[@popcornparam]

Quick question y are you using twin legs for your tripod. Y not a lighter combination?

[@KennethLawrencePhotography]

The tripod in this video is what I consider 'light' haha. Pro wildlife filmmaking needs heavy-duty gear, especially with long focal lengths and blizzard like winds. When I'm shooting broadcast documentaries, my tripod alone weighs 18 kgs. 😅

[@aroundus1311]

I really hope you would reply. How do you record audio along with video. I know most is afterfx but also in most clips it is actually realtime audio (saying it coz it syncs with mouth movement of animal). How to get this without recording myself or people around me? I do only photography but eagerly want to try videography. I always skip it just coz of irritating voices.

[@dhanniamarasuriya1118]

Please don't make us wait another 6 months for the final episode 😉😅

[@KennethLawrencePhotography]

I will soon be traveling for another 30 day docu shoot. Fingers crossed for EP3 to be edited and released soon after! 😃

[@divyatripathi3946]

Is there a tadoba series coming?

[@KennethLawrencePhotography]

Sure is! That will be published after I wrap up some current filming assignments. 🤠🎥

[@user-yg7ic7ju9j]

You are using a digital camera. Don’t call it filming!

[@KennethLawrencePhotography]

Absolutely. Let's rename short films, feature films, documentary films - how dare they?!
