It was a little darker than it appears. It was 9:30pm. I didn't realize until after the fact I was only getting 1/20 of a second at 400 ISO. I was paying more attention to the moose and its demeanor, than I was to the camera setting. Moose can be ornery critters. So this is handheld at 150mm(300mm) @ 1/20. Considering that, I was glad to get what I got.
