Well it did snow, so I had too
Just a bit of exif, these were all taken hand held at 1/60 to 1/80 with the Nikon D500 and Nikkor 200-500mm, auto ISO 140 to 320

 

[Cobra]

these were all taken hand held at 1/60 to 1/80

Very nice indeed

Hand held? I think you'd have to add a "0" on to those figures for me to stand a chance
