What it must look like for a mouse.

Testing out the legs on my 500mm f/4 lens. I cannot believe I waited so long to pick up a used one. Minimum focus distance (MFD) for this lens is 14.8 feet. This shot was at about 15 feet as I quickly lost auto focus after this shot. I was pretty well hidden in my $40K heated blind, but he knew something was up and did a flyby to check me out. The only crop to this picture was to center him in the frame.

Canon EOS 1D X • Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS USM @500mm • 1/1000 • f/7.1 • ISO 1000

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.

Superb shot!! One of the best Red-tail pics - fantastic angle!!

Essentially what photography is is life lit up.
