Christmas is coming


This festive shot of Milo the hamster was taken in 2020. I tried a few different set-ups but found that the simple one with only one prop, the tiny Santa hat, was the best.    It was a bit of a challenge to get a fast moving mini creature to stay steady for a shot. Being indoors I also had a problem with light.  I opted for a shutter speed of  1/500 sec. as Milo was constantly moving.  I use and aperture of f5 to try get Milo in focus and the hat identifiable.  These settings resulted in an auto iso of 320.  I used my 100 mm macro lens on my Canon 5Diii.
