Squirrel Week #2 - Check my "cojones"...

[Morkel Erasmus]

Yeah - you didn't think a South-African knows this Spanish word eh??

A bit of fun on a Tuesday morning...another view of the African Ground Squirrel.

Techs:
Canon 40D with 100-400mm L IS USM
f6.3 @ 1/3200 SS @ ISO-500

Morkel,
Nice pose. What was the shutter speed? The nose and head portion doesn't seem to have much of details. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

[Morkel Erasmus]

sorry - put the correct techs in now Sabyasachi. shutter was 1/3200, aperture 6.3

DOF was sufficient to go to the tail so I guess it's just the way he stood which made the facial details less visible? mostly sharing for fun :)

I good capture of the Ground Squirrels most notable features, they are you have to admit a remarkable sight.
Cheers

Sabyasachi, I don't think Morkel was focused too muh on that area for once, :D;) Ken, remember that 'Executive toy' you could buy for your desk - Newtons cradle? :D

Brought a smile this morning Morkel, thanks.;)

[Hendri Venter]
