    I spent an enjoyable two hours in the park. There were a few willing models and it was nice to take some great photographs. The tutor explained everything I was able to assist it framing the shots. This is something I would like to do again.

    Title or Location: Baikal the White Tiger
    Baikal was the resident white tiger at Hertfordshire Zoo for many years and currently resides in a big cat sanctuary away from the Zoo. Sadly there are no white tigers in the wild that we know of, they are simply just Bengal tigers that carry a leucitic gene. It is believed they only occur 1 in every 30,000 cubs in the wild and the last one seen in the wild, was in the 1950?s. All of the White Tigers in the world today, including Baikal can be traced back to that individual.
