Grey Squirrel stacking up for the winter

[Krijn Trimbos]

Two moths ago I went over to Canada for a short work visit. I had a lot of fun with the park squirrels which where massively stacking up supplies for the winter time. I had to work with very little light so the movement of the hands are a little blurred which I actually quite liked as this amphasizes the speed they use to crack open the acorns. Here it is.

Thanks for watching,

Hey Krijn, nice one! Love the detail you managed to catch on the fur despite the lack of light! Too bad for the motion blur, but as you say, these fellows are really fast!

I like what little blur there is for the reason you mentioned. est of the images is tack sharp. Might want to play with white balance a bit.
