Since I'm not into long lenses, even at 120mm (digital equivalent) it's hard to keep them in frame. Let alone with 400mm lenses and more! You chose the very hardest part of nature photography, I understand now. I had to boost my camera up to ISO 3200 to get a shutter speed that could freeze them in the dark part of our garden . (EXIF data: 1/200th at f4.8) I tried to transform the noise into grain and worked it into something B&Wish since in color it was incredibly dull. Maybe it still is but as I said: it was the only presentable one. Best to call it a frustration shot and nothing more.
