Red Squirrel Jump III

[Andreas Liedmann]

• DxO PureRAW 4

Hi all ... another attempt from yesterday .
The Squirrel gave a good show , but I struggled to get it captured .
Struggling to manage the timing and / or the focusing ... as the Squirrel is moving up the ramp and just jumping . The AF is sometimes not following the subject and grabs the perch ... instead of following the subject . If it follows it is not fast enough in the frame . If I would shoot wider ... I do have a lot of ugly distractions in the BG .
If the Squirrel cooperates I will try today with different settings in camera and different lens .
Kept the BG this time darker and cooler ( compared to 1st posting )
Sadly focus was not bang on the head ....

Makes me think of Batman! Very cute, there's almost a desperate look on that little face, as if she's wondering whether she'll make it to ... whatever the destination was:bg3:

Good techs here and nice composition, the background is just what was needed to make the subject stand out. Well captured Andreas and some nice PP work, glad you left the tip of that log in.

Kind regards,
