I guess I was about 40 feet away for these shots. She stayed awhile for me though. I was able to move twice for a better angle. I don't have anything special on my 20D. I don't know what happened with the Nikon. I put a fresh battery in my D2X and it died after 10 shots. I was using a VR lens and I think it got stuck. I let it sit for a few minutes and it came back a little but even with manual focus I couldn't get it to snap in. I do love the 560 Telyt. It's easy to see when you're in focus and I don't get too much camera shake. I only use the metal gun stock as support. I tried using the monopod but it just got in the way. I think a lot of shooting and disappointments are helping me. Thanks for your very kind comments.
