Doug, your pictures never fail to amaze. Exactly how do you chase a small 
animal like that with a manual focus lens? For example, how much time do 
you have to set up that shot? Since you are not using a zoom, do you 
"stalk" it within reasonably shooting distance and hope it doesn't run 
away, or?
