One up, one down

Not good background separation, but it was raining and no way to get better vantage wiyhout freaking them out.

Just need to crop in a bit.

There's something about this one I really like. I think it the contrast of the grass in the background against the largely gray subject of the tree and squirrels.

Gotta look UP, Boss...

Gotta look UP, Boss...

Oh...well....shoot. I missed that there were two critters.

It was shot wide open at ∱5.6, zoom at 240mm for composition. Just not enough glass to get the bokeh to separate that "lookout" from the background. And why several of that two-ring 80~200 ∱2.8 are in my E-Bay watchlist.

After seeing the shot above, the GAS kicked in. One is now on its way from Japan.

This was at full 400mm, same 1/250 sec at ∱5.6, ISO 1600. Enough distance from background and focal length to get the bokeh right.
