A snowshoe hare taken after dusk. Looks like there is a bit of color to change yet on its paws and ears. Taken with DA*300 and K-1, ISO-10000.

Thank you. They are relatively cooperative. The problem is the light.

Nicely done. And IMHO the ISO 10000 isn't bad.

Great shot! Very nice frame and the starburst makes it even better!

Here are some more images with the M*300/4 and my K-50. Both of the buzzards near where I live (there were actually three of them but I couldn't get all three of them in a presentable single frame. Both images needed some cropping.

Nice pup pic. Makes me wonder what the pup is thinking about...

Took this three days ago, still trying to nail down exactly which bird. K-1 + DA*300, heavy crop.

And the only thing from this morning, I thought it was a little humorous. Not sure if he's eyeing me, or the feeder. K-1 + DA*300, moderate crop.
