Description Not sure about the category, the little thing doesn't seem to be wild We were fighting over a walnut, I let her win in the end, after she climbed on my shirt, licked my fingers and so on. And NO, I wasn't forcing it to take it or harm it in any way . Enjoy!
Technical details: One hand for focusing and shooting, the other for handling the...*cough*..lion . So not the easiest working conditions, but I pulled it off. The hardest thing was when my lens was @ 55 mm and the squirrel climbed on me, didn't have any hands left to go to 18 mm ..

awww...the cuteness!! Glad you gave the nut to the lil guy...look how brave he is taking on someone so much larger than him.

It musta been tough handling the camera with one hand. But you've done a lovely job!

Yeah, it was challenging, but also very fun. The squirrels in the local park here are very friendly, the annoying part is that people caught on and now when I start banging walnuts together to call them and get a shot another 8 or 10 people start doing that. So there isn't much respect for photographers anymore.. I guess I have to get up early or buy a fast tele, lol

Pai normal... daca te-ai dus la ea cu o "atentie"... normal ca ai pozat-o asa ).

Btw... unde e cealalta mana? De ce nu ne-o arati, ti-a papat-o fiara? )

Ademenirea e simpla in principiu, dar iti trebuie rabdare si dat fiind ca eu am fost singur, viteza de reactie si control cu o singura mana pe aparat Nu sunt super multumit, mai ales de ISO ala 800, dar e pentru prima oara dupa mult timp cand am fost sa pozez ceva si am zambit pur si simplu la plecare, a fost o adevarata bucurie
