EOS-1D Mk III, 70-200mm f/2.8L IS (at 155mm), 1/640, f/4, ISO 400
About 60% of Full Frame
Hand held
Photographed this past weekend at Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary in Topsfield, MA.
There were two beavers actively feeding and paying absolutely no attention to the continuous
crowd of observers. They would find some branches and then carry them back to a spot only a
few feet off of the trail where there was a hole in the ice. They would then sit next to the hole
and feed on the branches. This went on for most of the afternoon. It was very difficult to get
a clear view without branches in the way. Several branches were removed from the foreground and
background of this image but, fortunately, only one branch was crossing in front of the beaver.
Looking forward to your comments and critiques !
