Hungry Coyote

This hungry Coyote came right up to me and entered a match of "stare

down". This shot was handheld from 3 feet away. After each shot, I

looked him in the eye to make sure he wasn't coming any closer. It

was a fun shot to get.

Shot near the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.

I love the color. That's no doubt due in part to the Velvia. I think probably also due to the slow speed of the Velvia, the image is blurred by camera motion. It's a delicate balance trying to use the slowest film you can and then get a sharp picture as well. The image looks nice at 3" high, though.

I enjoyed your story! However, the coyote seems to be looking to its left; I would have thought it would be looking straight at the camera if you were staring each other down. How so?

A little too blurry to make it work.
