Ground Squirrel

Andreas Liedmann · Oct 4, 2024

Hi folks ... another Rodent , this time captured in the outskirts of Vienna .
This is a famous population of this species , as the access and photography is quite simple at that place . Squirrels are used to human presence in their habitat .
The flower was provided ... by the photographer

, collected just at the edge of that area .... as all of the flowers have been already eaten up when I was there . So I made them and me happy ...

Canon EOS R 3
EF 500 IS L II + 1,4 TC

F 7,1 ; Iso 2500 ; 1/1600 sec

Processed with DXO PL 8 ; DT 4.8.1 and PSCC 2024 ; removed two stems from RHS

Thanks for watching and commenting to my previous threads

Cheers Andreas

I like this photo a lot. It is art to my eyes.

Super shot, I sense the colours are a little more saturated than your usual presentations....pleasing but perhaps just a little too saturated????

Thanks Alan and Jon , glad you like it !!
Much appreciated .

@ Jon ... every scene and every image is different , so no general approach from my side regarding color and its saturation . Each gets its own intensity on that front ... so this one might be more saturated than previous , only question for me would be .... is there anything clipped ??
If not , i do think all is good ... but it might not fit into your personal expectation of color .
This was shot on a bright but cloudy day ( thin white clouds ) ... so colors do appear more saturated than at other times .
As i do use all the time the same camera profile in camera and the raw conversion ... i do have low color intensity in low light and higher color intensity in bright or sun light as a starting point in processing . The endgame is how i want the image to look like .... some times more colors , some times less .
Quite simple
