___________________________
No funny stuff here. Overcast conditions, long focal length, large aperture, close to subject, click. If both squirrels were in focus the image would not have been as effective and would probably have come across as messy. The very shallow depth of field blurs the ground squirrel at the back enough not to distract from the image but you can still see that he is there and a part of the close knit group. By being patient and spending time with the smaller creatures you open yourself up to some amazing photographic possibilities. Don’t rush, take your time and get the shots!
More soon!
