Fluffy Tail

Uploaded: April 10, 2009

Description

I photographed this squirrel on 4-9-09 at 6:40 p.m. while he was devouring sunflower seeds on the birds' tray on our deck. Although I turned on the fill flash, hoping it would scare him away, he kept right on eating!
Camera: hand held, Canon 55-250 mm IS lens set at 250 mm, spot metering, shutter priority (1/100), f/5.6, ISO 100, fill flash was on although I was too far from the subject for it to make a difference
Edits: Used some of the Quick Fix tools in PSE7 and then did a square crop in Picasa 3.
Contest: Monthly Theme for April 2009: Backyard

Thanks, Dominick! He was so focused on eating those seeds that I had plenty of time to take his picture! #7390557
