Day 140 - The Rat

South Berwick, ME

(871/365)
There is no way I could get a photo of the girls' hamster on my own, it was pretty tough with my oldest holding it too. Of all the photos I took, this is the only one that is remotely in focus. It didn't help that I was using my 100mm Macro at f/2.8 which has a DOF of about a mm. This little thing really moves too, I should have set the AF to AI Servo, hindsight I guess.

Beautiful capture. You’re right, they are difficult. I was trying gerbils once and I ended with only one sharp photo too :) v
