Photo for 05/30/2012

For the next week or two we will be looking at photos of Eureka Springs, Arkansas. This fox was photographed from the deck of the cabin we stayed in. Just to the left of him was a raccoon (we will see that shot tomorrow). This was hand held with image an stabilization lens @ f/5.6 @ 1/60 of a second with the lens set to 480mm, and the ISO was set 1600. It was shot about 30 minutes after sunset. This is a shot we would have had trouble getting back in the film days because you generally wouldn’t of had that high of a speed of film in the camera. With digital...while you might experience some “noise” it’s very simple to change your ISO rating. I was dark enough when I shot this the auto focus was struggling to work.
