Look into my eyes, look into my eyes. Grey Headed flying fox. DSC_5061_Conv

Some have said the flying fox is cute - I agree. This one is possibly my favourite cutie pie!

Notice how sharp the bat's face is, yet there is a lot of motion blur on the wings and feet.

I believe this is the result of Nikon VR technology, with a little bit of photographer technique thrown in.

1/500 sec, f8, ISO=640, F=300 mm, VR=ON.

The orange tint is because the sun had almost set.

...and yes, just in case you were wondering, he is a boy bat, but don't tell flickr or I will be banned.
