Thank you all for your kind comments! I actually did something that John Shaw
in his 'Closeups in Nature'
specifically said not to do. I put it (him/her) in the fridge for a couple of
minutes and it got
quite still. (I thought the freezer would be too mean). And then by the time I
thought I got at least part of its
face in focus it started to move again. <Repeat>
Finally got tired of the whole thing, stopped down to about 5.6 or 8 to cover
for focusing error(and hence
some diffraction softness in addition to inaccurate focus), and clicked. A T-32
connected to the body with a ttl cord
was placed above its head. Didn't dial in any exposure compensation because I
thought the dark eyes
closer to the center would cancel out the light colored piece of paper I had
put it on.
