The Wary Prey


The Wary Prey

July 10, 2009

Shooting wildlife isn't really my forte, as I've not been able to afford the lenses that go along with capturing wildlife in its natural habitat.  Having a DSLR has helped, as it gives me a natural 1.6x extension on my 200mm lens, but still that is the bare range of an acceptable lens.  But this guy held steady for me for a while, but giving me the weary eye at the same time.  Luckily I got a shot off before he scampered away.  Enjoy.
