The Feeding
Uploaded: February 24, 2010
An Interesting series,Archie brought in a squirrel and Edith fed the baby`s with it. It was a bit of a magical moment as all this was done with quiet noises from them and extreme gentleness on Momma`s part.Both baby`s were fed equally as I shot from a distance away as not to interfere.Captured at F/8,1/1600,Iso500,400mm.
Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 625/1000000 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 640, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 400.00 mm, Model: NIKON D90
