Description

As much as I love the cypress stumps, this is probably my favorite place to shoot the squirrels. This tree's two smaller trunks were cut down to a height of 2-3'...perfect for isolating my subject from the BG (without me having to roll around in the dirt).

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: -0.33, ExposureTime: 10/2500 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 500, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 105.00 mm, Model: NIKON D80

I think it's his favorite place also. He can eat his treats and get his backend scratched at the same time.
Wonderful lighting, and composition Tess!! #8081683

That's really cool how he's positioned between the "wedge." Even if you DO have a trunk full of Valarie's favorite critters, you are so good at photographing them. The bg and focus are perfect #8082256

Now that Valarie has given me an idea, maybe my squirrel shots will be a little 'fuzzier' next time!
