Courageously Jumping Down The Fence

While trying to take pictures of some dragonflies
in a dark corner of my backyard I noticed that my cat
was about to jump down. The challenge came to my mind.

There was no time for changing settings except for
setting exposure time to 1/1000 s so I kept iso at 1600
in spite of the bright sunlight and I had no chance to
change the 180 mm macro lens.

Thank you, K and Traveller!
NR = Noise Reduction

Very good captured moment, Gerald.
PS. What does NR mean?

Paul, the RAW file was developed in Lightroom with my standard NR preset. Usually, I keep luminance at 60 and detail at 15. Lightroom's internal denoising algorithm provides higher reduction at higher isos internally, so I make big changes to the NR settings only if I see that it is necessary. -Gerald

For a moment there I thought this was a squirrel. 1600 ISO, did you have to use any noise reduction? Paul.
