Sure -- my husband as liquid nitrogen, and does he bring it out for a photo shoot? Not this time!! Well, there was that other time, and that other time, and even that other time... Oh well. Even if he did, my idea wasn't as cool as this one... Nicely done!

I'll try to remember -- it always seems like so much work. :)

I pretty much always shoot wide open on my 100-400 lens, because I need as much light as I can get, and then I adjust the ISO for how much movement I expect from the animal.

Since I was zoomed in pretty far, it was f5.6. I had to have an 800 ISO, because I was hoping for heron striking at the fish shots, and figured I needed about 1/800-1/1200 to get the shot. This one clocked in at 1/1000.

I realize that shooting wide open isn't the best option, but when I stop it down, I need to raise the iso even higher, and I get a lot of noise on my 7D. Plus, I do like the DOF that wide open gives, so I live with the problems.

Just for the fun of it
