Bat

This is the first bat I've photographed in the wild. It's just coming out of it's hibernation deep in a cave. I was fortunate to have an expert bat handler with me to ensure the bat was not stressed or harmed in any way.

The shot was taken using the light from an LED torch and the multiple exposure facility on the NEX7 camera. It's the first time I've used this facility to reduce camera shake - it integrates six separate exposures into a single image and seems to have worked very well. The photograph shows so much detail that wasn't visible at the time, so I shall use this facility more in the future.
