Very cooperative goats. Most animals prefer to show me their backside....

Thx.

 

- Focus is a little difficult. I am getting better...

 

- Tape on focus screen for M8 crop

 

- Holding steady easier than I expected

 

- Verticals difficult without integrated cable release. Planning to make one some day. Maybe this winter

 

- lens has been on my wish list for a long time. Breaks down to smallish size. Fits on my M8 which is coming with me anyway. I can make it work for wildlife because they generally do not move too fast. Not a good choice for sports

Each sunny day upon my way

A goat I pass;

He has a beard of silver grey,

A bell of brass.

And all the while I am in sight

He seems to muse,

And stares at me with all his might

And chews and chews.

 

From the great mountain and wilderness poet Robert Service


The Goat and I

I almost always shoot in manual mode.   If I don’t know the exposure I will manually move mirror out of the way th use the in camera meter.  In either case I always take a test shot and check the histgram.  Then all is well   Helps prevent errors

Note - the viso also blocks the ambient light sensor so the exif estimate of exposure will be wrong

in this case - I think I shot at f/6.8, 1/750th, ISO 160.    

If scattered clouds I like to use an automatic exposure.  Light changes unexpectedly.  With the viso setup I just have to adjust exposure every time the sun goes behind a cloud or live with underexposed cloudy light images. In this shot changing light was not an issue
