    Re: Trees aren't just for birds.

    Congrats. The guy needs a tooth whitener. Great capture.

    I actually was fortunate enought to shoot one several years ago, with my 35mm. My dog almost caught it before it scrambled up the tree. I caught her in midair, while she leapt towards it. That would not have been good.

    Re: Trees aren't just for birds.

    I'd never think to look into trees to find porcupines, and on that note, I wouldn't be looking for one of those critters anyway!

    Maybe it's just me, but it looks as though there's a touch of camera shake/motion blur in that image? Shooting 1/200th @ 300mm w/o IS is tough. Were you using a monopod or tripod?

    Hi BM,
    Hea, The face is soft. :-(
    But not for lack of trying. I tried to use my bike to steady the camera.
    The porcupine was only 10 feet away so there were tradeoffs.
    @ f13 I had less than 2" of DOF.

    Re: Trees aren't just for birds.

    Over the weekend I had a chance to look thru the 30 or so shots I took of the porcupine.
    Here is one I croped that is a bit sharper.

    Wow, that's sharper, and that is one ugly mug. Go out and find something cuter to shoot, would you???
