Not good photographic conditions. Too far into the forest, too dark, and too backlit at that. Still, who could resist? <\/p>\n<p>I used the full reach of the zoom on the Canon SX40HS, plus 2x digital tel-extender for the equivalent of 1680mm. Despite the ISO 800, that pushed the shutter speed to an impossible 1\/80th of a second (impossible at that focal length). Still the Canon\u2019s image stabilization pulled it off! f5.8. <\/p>\n<p>Processed in Lightroom for intensity, clarity and sharpness. <\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-2828\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=2828&amp;share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-2828\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=2828&amp;share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span>Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=2828&amp;share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email this to a friend\"><span>Email<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was looking for the Barred Owl that frequents Vaill Point Park in St. Augustine Florida, checking every likely limb in that little patch of mixed forest along the creek, which is how I happened on this Raccoon, doing his or her best to look like a lump on the limb.
