I have had some varying results with these this weekend. High iso's and slow shutter speeds are not going to produce perfect images but things are improving. It's amazing how quickly and noisily otters eat and these two images taken in the rain early this morning show how difficult it is to catch them still.
Larger image is an improvement but still not there.
small image: 1/10th @ F4 iso 3200 193mm
Larger image: 1/8th @ F4 iso 3200 208mm
Both are nearly full frame with just a slight trim for comp.

You're so close, you could just about touch them! Keep at it - you'll get the light.

as Ian said you will eventually get the right light but in the mean time what an experience to spend time with them. I look foward to your next post

Be patient, you're light will come.
