Now that I understand ISO better I found that I can take photos inside my not-so-bright office without flash and still get clear images. My horizons have broadened!
I caught my rabbit playing on his new box tower this evening (made from Priority Mail boxes glued together, because he likes to practice parkour). Luckily he stayed still long enough for the relatively slow shutter click to capture this profile.
This is Tansy, a Northern Screech Owl we met at a raptor demonstration today. I took the best out of all my shots, it was a dark room and they didn’t hold still for very long, and my current lens only goes down to 5.6 when fully extended. Luckily I got her good side (she’s only got one eye)!
