Winter ! That's the only period when those funny and cute Red Squirrels have those fluffy ears. Look @ those ears :) Aren't they awesome ?

This particular image is my first image ever i've made from a Red Squirrel. I think i just had terrific luck when this cute one came on the perch.

I'm happy to share this image with you all :) I used a 300mm lens with 1.4tc on a 7D body.
It was photographed from a hide in a forest close by home.

This fluffy eared squirrel was so close by it almost could not fit into my frame :)

Have a great sunday all ! Hope you enjoy this close encounter i had from a while ago!

I wish we had more cold and snowy winters in our region. When i was younger we had snow during winter season. Now these days it's a rare sight . Sad!

What a cute squirrel. You did an amazing job of capturing his face and the lovely snow naturally framing your photo.

It was pure luck. It really was. I just aimed for that incoming squirrel onto that perch. The squirrel did the pose and action. I was lucky to catch that moment. :)

hehe....you sound like me...I think all my good photos are pure luck....but I did see your web site and you my friend are an awesome nature photographer.! Take a bow :)

Awesome comment. i'm flattered :) it does take many from my freetime. But i enjoy to visit my 'special' places. This is my form of meditation.
I often have a certain goal... But 90% of times it never works out. So i come home with nothing ... Sometimes i've images i never expected to capture.

These days it is easy to be called a nature photographer. Many people go visit hides for photography made by other people. It's a booming Business. You name the animal and you can make images from it. Diving Kingfishers (right into that aquarium with fish (bait), Sea eagles fighting (with fresh delivered meat from the butcher, baited). I'm not into that. I just love nature and try to capture the beauty from it. The difficulty makes it interesting for me ;)

Oh that's interesting! I didn't know about photographers forcing shots like that. hmmmm. It makes sense I guess.

I like to capture things and be surprised by what I've gotten to experience and see. I've come home with nothing many times, or at least terrible photos. I learn as I go and as I study other people's photos. I like natural photos....not too edited with color saturation and so on...other people like that look, but I like the natural.

I haven't found my niche yet. It's a hobby for me anyways, so I'm not in a hurry. I like nature and find myself going there to find shots. I've tried street photography a couple of times but don't really understand it.

I can see how photography is a form of meditation. :)

hehehehe did you know that squirrels could have curling irons in the woods???

yes... and there is the proof. Look at his ears... there are waves that only come from the Secret Squirrel Curling irons in this region LOLOL

I love his little face!!!! and I love how your patience always pays off hehehehe

I love how the snow blends right into the background of this post.... so it looks like he's coming RIGHT OUT of the screen! hehehehe

I would love to capture a squirrel with a perm one day. ;) Would't that be something!
Yes it does has a 3D effect from the DOF ;)
