Ivy League Squirrel

Posted by Laurie (New Jersey, United States) on 12 November 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

On a recent photo assignment one of the things I was supposed to try to get were some shots of the "insane" squirrels that resided on the campus of Bucknell University. This task proved to be far easier said than done. The squirrels were everywhere this is true, but they would not even give me a chance at getting much more than a blurred shot or they would hide out in the darkest places chattering at me with no hope for me to get a decent exposure.

The squirrels on the Princeton campus however were almost TOO eager to get there picture taken. Hence this shot of this rather plump fellow who was so perfectly framed by this shrub. I didn't even need my telephoto lens. I shot this at 70mm and it is not cropped. I think it was a plot against me to drive me crazy!
