Hi!

This is a study in D-O-F, or the lack thereof. The shot was taken with the 400mm f6.8 Telyt, wide open, at about -24C; and this little lady had all her feathers puffed out for heat retention!

The eye is absolutely tack sharp in the print, but the feathers are completely out of focus.

http://www.horizon.bc.ca/~dnr and click on "Featured Photo".

Techie stuff: R8 w/400/f6.8 Telyt & shoulder stock. Hand held - about 1/125th second. Kodak HD-400 negative film. Scanned on a cheap Canon flatbed, as my faithful HP-PhotoSmart neg scanner has finally given up. :( Cropped from a horizontal shot... about 1/2 the original frame.

Comments and criticisms appreciated.

Thanks for looking.
