Best on black. Imagine my surprise when I moved our laundry tub in order to sweep under in yesterday afternoon and found this little bat hidden there asleep where it was dark. We got him out of the house and into the garage where he found a spot to hang out until dark cradled in the mask of Jim's chain sawing helmet. It is really dark in the garage and of course he went for as dark a place there as he could find. So this was shot at ISO 12800. You'll be glad to know that he found his was back to his family during the night.
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs
Nice photo. So glad that you didn't freak out and kill it. We need more people with your good heart for nature. Bats are my wife's favorite animals. Last year we had a tent set up in the basement where she had injured bats where they could work on their flight.
I can't imagine being able to shoot anything at that ISO - amazing. Never saw an up-close shot of a bat - and this is definitely up-close. He was well taken care of :)
