Hartbeest in a Heartbeat
Drive by shooting, managed to grab this guy, although I had to use a shutter of 1/1000s to shoot from a moving vehicle (not too fast). I forgot I had the 1.4x on, otherwise I could have shot this at 400mm f/4, and gotten a smoother bokeh.
The Canon 200-400 lens was made for safaris – with its internal zoom and internal focusing, it is dust proof. The 5DSR did a superb job of acquiring autofocus here.
