Why I Like My Canon R5 - Handholding 1/6 Of A Second

Since, I like to go out before sunrise, I often run into wildlife in very marginal light.

But, hey! its digital, not film, so, why not try to get a shot.

While not the greatest, I took this at 8:13am and sunrise was at 8:41am.

Then, it takes about another 30 minutes for the sun to peek over the mountains.

So, still very dark out.

But, the Little Female showed up and posed pretty.

So, I tried to get the shot.

1/6 of a second! Yeah! it worked.

That time.

Never would have tried that back when I was using film.

My good friend (Yes, I do have a couple!) used to say "dollar, dollar, dollar" when he would hear my camera clicking away.

Then, I switched to digital and told him, "not any more".

So, I guess if I can see it, I'll try and get the shot.

I do have to delete a lot of soft fuzzy shots, but, sometimes you do get lucky.
