Two Figures
When I took my attention off the horizon I noticed two figures in my backyard. The figures were very interested in the area around the bird feeders. The two figures were about the size of dogs. That is when I realized the figures were the two coyotes that call this area home.

Coyote Searching for Peanuts
*Original Video: Canon EOS 7D; f/5.6; 1/13 sec.; ISO-6400; 90mm* I quickly adjusted the ISO on my camera for the extreme low-light conditions. I kept the exposure time short because the coyotes were constantly moving.

Practicing Night-time Wildlife Shots
The coyotes surprised me and I was not prepared to photograph them. I need more practice. What should I have done differently? I should have gone to a wide-angle or switched lenses to allow for a lower f-stop.
