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.

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
