If only I'd had a monopod, I'd have been able to focus. But this was just a dot in the trees, so I was happy to capture anything.
Kind of frustrating that even at 1/1000 second nothing was really in focus. Of course magnifying was just a crap shoot, as I couldn’t even see the eyes. Focus highlighting was deceptive, and wrong :-(
With a mirror lens a stable platform seems to be even more important than a fast shutter speed.
