Tight rope walker on my back porch tonight!

My plan tonight was early to bed with a good book! Then I heard a noise outside and being the
brave soul that I am I turned on the porch light. Three racoons were having a ball. I swear they
saw me with the camera and didn't care. I should have called Vernon to see what setting would
help, but I just had fun and this is the best I got. I knew they visit because they empty the
hummingbird feeder and the bird feeder frequently and I see their footprints.
This is the first time I've had a late-night show!

Nikon D2h
1s f/4.5 at 42.0mm iso1000 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

You did really well to get it to pose for you. Nice to see they feel safe around you :>)

Pretty darn good for ~2 seconds handheld!!!

Settings couldn't have been better (short of spending some money on a faster lens).
Good to see you putting my "old" camera body to good use>

Nice shot.
The way these guys climb makes people say this is the American version of the monkey.

Great capture Petesie, this one looks quite young.

Great catch.

Way to go Petesie! This is great. If you couldn't go any wider than f/4.5 then you chose the right setting. One second handheld is tough. I think you did good!
