\"CoyoteCoyote Blur – Nikon D300, f6.3, 1\/50, ISO 640, +0.3 EV, Nikkor 200-400mm VR with 1.4x TC at 300mm, natural light, not baited or called in<\/span><\/p>\n

Do not clean or adjust your glasses, this image really<\/em> is that blurry!<\/p>\n

I can’t say I created this on purpose, I can only say I spotted the Coyote eating falcon leftovers near the causeway to Antelope Island before the sun came up and when the Coyote took off running… I kept shooting.<\/p>\n

Out of 7 blurry images I only liked this one because the face was sharp (enough) while the rest of the Coyote<\/span><\/a> is a blur. I’m not surprised it was blurry, my shutter speed was only 1\/50!<\/p>\n

Not my normal technique but I like it.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
