Nearly run over by a monster :)

[Romy Ocon]

This millipede was sprinting towards me this morning at a frightening speed of perhaps 10,000 mm per hour. Got lucky to be able to get out of the way before the front element of my 100 2.8 macro got smashed. ;D

1DM2 + 100 2.8 USM macro, ISO 1250, f/5, 1/160 sec, AI servo, no flash, hand held, near full frame:

Uh huh. Can imagine the damage those feet would make.

Interesting angle.

[Teddy Regpala]

Nice blur.

I can only imagine those foot prints on the front elements, yay!
