This little critter was guarding my son as he slept yesterday and hung around all night.
Shot with 2 different 40 year old Nikkor lenses, the first a 35~135 f3.5 with macro at 135mm, the second with a 70~210 f4 with macro at 210mm
Hand held while holding a torch with the other hand and 1/30-1/15 exposures so a little shaky (full frame Nikon D810 is heavy).

Well done with the juggling to get the shot.

Thanks!
It's retreated back into a vent and next time I'll set up a tripod or a brighter light. It's hard capturing the eyes and the body in focus on a large aperture. I'm also playing with some very old Nikkor lenses I haven't used before and I am not familiar with. I will be soon though. That's after removing the old aperture setting bracket..
