Western Gray Squirrel
Oh yes another Gray. Trying out my new 50D. Still have a lot to learn as it has quite a few differences from my old dead 10D.
Heavily cloudy day with rain and snow showers
Canon 50D
RAW
ISO 800
Canon 100-400 @ 115mm
1/100sec @ F5.6
550 EX flash fired through black batting material couldn'tuse high sync flash due to that
Gaussian blur applied to background
Selective sharpening on the squirrel
All CC appreciated.
God's light and precious love to all,
chris
Hi Chris,
I like the composition, image and capture...thats a mighty fine tail you got there...:D The framing and pose is very nice...:cool:
Nice catch! A pleasing composition and pose. I'm seeing a magenta cast in the fur, most noticeable in the tail.
Hi Chris Nice squirrel !!
I like the tech settings .. going to 800 is the only way, not sure what exposure mode you were but could have picked up a little shutter speed by going with Av wide open. At 115 you should have been closer to 4.0 Reasonably sharp for the shutter speed .. and great having the entire tail !!!
David any clue as to the tail? I did see the cast but is not pronounced in the head area, check the whites and they are not that far. Has to be some light reflecting !! You got a good eye for colors, I find partial cats difficult to catch !!!
Love the pose Chris, did well on sharpness for the shutter speed!
I can also see the magenta, it is noticeable on the tree branch too

I wonder if there might be a bit of CA going on in all those little firzzy tail hairs.
Hi Chris - like the composition and the pose - looks like you are having fun with the new camera.
Good pickup on the colour cast David :) :) :)
I've been thinking. Sometimes a scary thing according to some people I know. That perhaps the magenta cast is coming from a reflection off of my house. My feeders are only about 10-12 feet out from the house, the house is cedar and it is stained with a reddish stain that has a mahonony cast to it.
just hinking aloud.
God bless,
chris
