    Bedding Down

    Taken about 15 min before posting in the failing light near sunset. I spotted this guy in a tree behind my house in his usual sleepy place. He looked so cute I thought I would share.

    Re: Bedding Down

    I am getting better at exposing with lower light now for sure. 6 months ago that image would've been nothing but shadow. I am also getting better with PS for recovering through the nose now too.

    Apparantly listening to you and Loupey ramble on and on and on....... has paid off hehe

    Thanks Paul. The shot was taken at full zoom at 500 F 6.3 and 1/80th on a tripod. I couldn't get a clear shot below that speed so I did the best with what I could.
