Gbh out in a grassy field looking for rodents.

This was taken through the car window on a bean bag, my D300, 400 2.8 lens @ 2.8 shutter speed 1/50, iso 800.

This one was 1/25s, iso 400, bean bags work better then expensive ball and gimbal heads, my bean bag is just a zip lock freezer bag full of dried beans.
