Just one puff of wind up the ass and suddenly she started strutting around like Marilyn Monroe 🙄
Geeky side note here:
Yesterday I had a few minutes to play with a 100-400mm lens. I've always noticed how birders with super-zooms get lovey, shallow depth of field even when shooting with narrow apertures. While that shallowness puts a premium on accurate focus, it gives the birds nice separation from the bokeh'd environment around them.
This was the first time I experienced that myself. The pigeon, 45 feet away, was shot with a focal length of 400mm at f/8. My depth of field calculator says the DOF was only one foot deep. That's pretty narrow.
I'm used to thinking of f/8 as a landscape setting. For example: on a 50mm lens focusing on a church 400 ft from our house, f/8 leaves everything from 50 feet to infinity in focus.
Anyway, consider my sotted mind blown.
