Casual Squirrel

[Sailor Don]

Yesterday, I was out in the yard experiementing with panoramic stitching. I'm slowly getting the hang of it. This is a sample that covers about 180 degree view angle.

As I was doing my panoramic shoot, there was an unnoticed spectator. This squirrel had set himself up in this casual pose on the fence. I noticed him after I had finished the panoramic experiment. I zoomed in to the 200mm (35mm equivalent) telephoto and shot the squirrel.

He didn't stay around long when he noticed that he was the subject of attention. I wish I could have got an angle where the sky didn't "white out". :( This picture was taken on the shadow side of the fence.

No wonder it's dead then :shock: :lol:

DocFrank......,

I was waiting for the squirrel to roll over on its back with four feet in the air after the first shot, but it never happened. :D

:idea: Perhaps I need to use my old Smith & Wesson for the next shoot :!:

Very nice panorama.

And you had an interested audience.

You can see from his look that he was curious about your Pro1.

Best regards,
