~ This shot exemplifies the "one shot, one kill" principle of my herpetologist photographer friend, XIAO Xiao…when walking into the kitchen I happened to notice that the Sun had almost slipped below the horizon…I ran to pick up the EOS 1D X and rapidly mounted the EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II super-telephoto lens on it…pointing out the kitchen window towards the west, one push of the shutter yielded this image…handheld, no post-processing, ISO 100
