Douglas Tree Squirrel

[Chris Hansen]

A Douglas Tree squirrel checking me out from a knothole feeder in a Tan Oak Tree.

Digging through the files to find this one

Canon 10D
Old Sigma 500mm manual focus
Aperature priority @ 5.6 ( the only way it will work on the camera)
Shutter pseed 1/60 sec
ISO 100

All CC appreciated.

God's blessings to all,

Hi Chris ... way to tough it out !!! Brutal tech info !! You did well with that low shutter speed, sure wish it was razor sharp. Love the framing with a little extra tree showing at the bottom !!!! Thanks for digging this out !!!

[Chris Hansen]

Ouch! I need to get either my glasses cleaned or my eyes checked. Alfred you are right on it is very unsharp. I will post a variation of this shot tomorrow that is a bit more acceptable.

God's light to all,

chris

Nice image Chris. I love the warm reds and browns. Sharper would be nice, but you made an excellent shot with the wide aperture and slow shutter speed.

[Gus Cobos]

Hi Chris, I like the composition and capture...The little guy is a little soft...would selective sharpen the eye...:cool:

[Lance Peters]

Hi Chris - like the composition - softness noted.

see if this is a improvement.
