Orangutan @ US National Zoo
Yesterday a friend, Andy, helped me to calibrate my focus via the fine tune adjustment settings on my D300s and I think it made a huge difference. Thanks Andy!!!
For the above Orangutan, Lucy(?)Bonnie(?), I got lucky and spotted some yellow foliage behind her and setup the
shots. She was in this spot (with me shooting) for maybe 10 seconds
(5 shots).
