Baby Eastern Gray Kangaroo

A baby Eastern Gray Kangaroo (Macropus giganteus) after a rainstorm. This shot is a good demonstration of the depth of field compression that you get with a telephoto lens. The effect of the shallow depth of field is to create a bokeh which blurs the background and highlights the subject.

I took this shot in the Warrumbungle National Park, NSW, Australia on a Canon EOS 6D, with a Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS, ISO 400, focal length 400.0 mm (415.6 mm in 35mm), and aperture of f/6.3, 1/320 exposure time.
