Picture of the Day September 30, 2008
Otter
Canon 40 D 300mm, 1/25 @ F5.6 ISO 800 - handheld shot with high ISO for this camera which accounts a bit for the noise and soft focus. Was trying to get a nice shot of Mount Moran ran reflecting in String Lake in the Tetons.
To get the shot I wanted I had to take off my shoes and socks and wade out 15 feet into the water. As soon as I got in the critter climbed up on the log and began looking at me curiously. I set up my camera and waded back to shore so I could shoot with the RF shutter release thus avoiding ripples to spoil the reflection. Unfortunately it was very cold and the battery failed. I had to wade back out and take another shot. Very cold but not so bad once the circulation stops.
