We can't always truck a tripod around with us, so shooting fast at optimum aperture, we can achieve very sharp results with proper technique.

Bright daylight and good contrast, not to much shadow, for an even exposure across the frame, all helped to gain 1/1250 sec, no foreground to worry about allowed me to shoot at f 5.6.

I was having a stare down with this goat, we were each perched on a rock and he looked really cool with the still waters of the lake behind him, however he was in the early morning shadow, so I waited for him to get bored and move in to the sun, it paid off, the first with his head lit by the sun and the second with his shadow on the rock. 

The little guy was walking toward me with his mother and I snapped this one off just before he turned away from me.

Shots where taken in the Enchantments also known as the Alpine Lakes Wilderness in Washington state.
