Happy Raccoon!

Plymouth, Michigan

Only one raccoon wanted photos taken during this visit, it was very curious of the flash.
Since it was pitch dark, I tried the 135mm lens hoping it would help with focusing.
These shots ended up a under-exposed making them a bit noisy for the ISO.
Aperture was set to f/5.6 because I expected more than one subject.

Below are two more photos taken that night.

Canon EOS-1D Mark III ,Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM
1/160s f/5.6 at 135.0mm iso1600 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I guess you used flash in this case. Am I wrong ?
