Happy Independence day All!!~! This morning I was able to get out and get these shots. For me it was exciting, because It’s the first day I’ve been able to get out to shoot for a bit. My Back has been difficult lately. This is why my Blog and updates have been about two weeks apart. New You Tube slide-shows and reviews are coming. I’ll get everything up ASAP. Make sure to Check the Emporium for new SNAPS. These images will be in the emporium in a couple of days.
Today is a very beautiful day in here in lovely So-Cal. Hot but there are people out enjoying their July 4th holiday, and we aren’t the only ones. The squirrels are out and they are looking for there 4th snacks.
I took a short series of images this morning of a mama squirrel I call Elsy. She is finally letting me sit quite close to her to shoot. The babies are still really skittish but they are getting closer as well. We used to have them come up to us asking for food. But in the past year When I go to the park they are really skittish of humans.
There is a large multifamily squirrel habitat in this location. Tons of tunnels from tree to tree and a home made birdbath that all birds and critters enjoy. Keep an eye on the Emporium New images of the birdbath are coming)
I place seeds out for birds and the squirrels love them also. Keeping the bath clean and placing the seeds out helps the animals to get used to me. They will also know that I’m the one giving this to them in hopes they get used to me. This works because The squirrels and birds both have allowed me to drop my distance by half in a pretty short time. This in turn lets me get sharper photos.
I love the curiosity and demeanor of these little guys. The baby squirrels are really fun to watch. Wrestling just like little boys, then chasing each other around. (I’m working on getting video of this. I will as soon as I can get out.)
Yep, but I'll be back.
These were all Shot with the Nikon Z6 II with FTZ adapter (way cheaper if you get with Z camera) & Tamron 150-600mm G2. Not denoised & minimally adjusted. This is my favorite camera I have shot with. I have been shooting with a few different cameras and lenses lately, Thanks to my friend Who has let me try them out for an extended amount of time. (thank you thank you S.) So as long as things work I’ll be shooting review photos In the next two nights of- The Nikon Z6, Z5, Z50 (another short one),FTZ adapter, Z lenses- 70-300f4, 24-200f4, 50f1.8, Tamron 150-600mm G2 For Wildlife, Meke 50mm 1.7 MF, Weird 18mm lens cap. Why night? Find out in the next Blog, lol.
Well I guess that's it for this one. I'm really glad that i was able to get out and get these great shots this morning. You guys have a great day, have an awesome 4th and until next time, Keep on Snappin.
