The Quiet Picture

Finding my voice in the silence of nature

Some light

Category: canon 300mm,squirrel

It’s been a sunny week, but it figures that the clouds arrive for the weekend. We got just a little bit of sunlight yesterday morning, it’s all gone today. The good news is that now that the sun comes up a bit higher in the sky, there’s a fair amount of light even when it’s overcast. Consolation prize…

    Jackie here has the pose (whachalookinat while I eat?), but did you crop just bit too much from left? Blackie’s pose is not as good but I like that crop better :)

    Minna, for picture’s sake, cut off that horrible saw-cut branch and put some camouflage in it, something, just something… it surely ruins these excellent squirrel pictures ;)

    It’s actually not sawn, but broken… unfortunately it was such a clean break that it looks like sawed, I know it’s a problem but I haven’t been able to figure out how to fix it (one option is to make the cut darker in PS so it won’t stand out so much, but I haven’t been able to do that either). Maybe I could glue some lichen on it…
