This was taken with a Nikon Z8 and Nikkor Z 180-600 + TC 2X for 1200mm. 1/1000 sec @f/18 and ISO 10000. the long lens, f/18 and shooting through double pane glass really suck up the light and in this case the sun was about to set so there are deep dark shadows and almost no ambient light, very harsh.
