Oh My!

Another appearance by one of the more photogenic backyard residents. Not sure what this little guy was so disturbed about, but he held this pose for a few seconds.

Photographed with the Canon 7D Mark II and the EF 135MM F/2L lens.

Have a great day!

One of our new backyard residents

While working to photograph a few birds in the back yard, this little guy slinked his way into the frame. I had the Canon 135MM F/2.0L lens on the camera to capture images with that shallow depth of field and creamy bokeh, so I immediately thought there would be no way of getting a descent close-up image. So I waited. And waited. Eventually he went for the bird seed while I was kneeling just five feet away, which gave me a great opportunity to take the above images with the Canon 7D Mark II.

Have a great day!

A Squirrel Eating Bird Seed

I had put out bird seed to attract the birds one Spring weekend for photographing. This Norther Gray Squirrel ignored my presence and strolled up and began feasting. This allowed me to take a number of close-up photos with the Canon 7D Mark II and the Canon EF 100-400MM F/4.5-5.6L IS USM.
