Up close and personal - ISO 12,800
An interesting few moments when this guy suddenly surfaced, zero time to think about composition, but enough time to dial in some settings, but a bit of a frame filler even with the 70-200!!! No problem pushing the ISO (12,800), leaving the techs on 'old school' and you would miss everything, but also having the AF set-up correctly (i.e. Case settings) plays a part too, leaving them on 'factory default', do that and you might as well buy a point & shoot http://www.naturephotographers.net/i...icon_smile.gif.
