Yes. Bright day so a lot faster captures. f4 - 1/640 - ISO 100 - 600mm. Luckily the camera can record a lot of frames per second. While I can do closeups with the camera lens almost touching, what sets the camera apart, is that I'm standing well back (varying from 6 to10 feet - 2 - 3 meters) using the zoom lens as a macro. So I don't disturb bugs by proximity - like butterflies. It does have anti-vibration but at that focal length/distance it doesn't take much camera movement to lose the subject or have the auto-focus pick up on something else. Plus it's a heavy camera - so I do get lots of shots that are a little to a lot out of frame, out of focus, etc.Damn!!!!

Dr. Claws Jr.?Snapped a photo of this guy yesterday.
This is a wild mink. It's wet because it just came out of the Niagara River. Guessing it may be a young one. It headed back down a sink hole next to the sidewalk. I've seen mink in my urban back yard and in the neighbourhood a couple of blocks from the Niagara River.I'm not against fur coats...if the fur is trapped and killed humanely. it's mind boggling how huge the mink fur market is in Canada...we have a fur farm in the prairies that raises / kills 500,000 of them a year, I think...maybe more. I do not agree with fur farms...no matter what the is done, their short lives are pitiful and torturous.
