I wish I could sat this was a snapshot but it took a few tries. With the first sun in a few days I went to the park looking for squirrels. This red squirrel was gathering walnuts and taking a log between trees. Autofocus was too slow so manual focus on the log edge was used. ISO 1600 got the shutter speed to 1/1500, f 4.5. About 3 feet before reaching the predetermined field of view I started pressing the shutter, occasionally he was in the frame. The shutter speed is too slow to freeze the action, hence the soft head. I'm looking into something called "pixel pitch" which may explain some of the softness. On the other hand these guys can fly.
