Just A Little Further

Going to try some of the Challenges this year One Night Stand Challenge today is candid
Can you take a candid picture of a squirrel?
He was racing all over my dogwood tree putting the little buds in his mouth. Grabbed the camera and without thinking snapped away only to find the manual setting from yesterday was too light . Darkened a little in lightroom but I kind of like the look.

[Leana Niemand]

Fantastic, this is so cool in B&W

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

Excellent result!! Well done, love the way he is reaching out with his paw.

[Sheila]

Hope he got whatever he was reaching for! Lovely shot!!

[Paul Godfrey]

Great shot, almost looks like a pencil sketch

[Leslie]

@leananiemand thanks Leana

[Leslie]

[Leslie]

[Melissa Pike]

Love how he's reaching out - nicely captured!

[Leslie]

@grammyn thank you Katy. high key by accident but it sure does work

[Yvonne]

I just love how he is reaching out. I think a candid is anything that you don't set up. Way to go.

[Leslie]

@yonnie so I shouldn't have made him do this... lol

[Paula]

Lovely shot!

[Margaret Tryon]

I think it's a terrific candid shot.

[Ellen Young]

Mu first thought was I really like the tones of this picture! And of course a squirrel can be candid! Great shot Leslie!!!!

[Richard]

he he how cool is he!

[Aleksandra]

Very cool capture!

[Stacey]

Yes, if he doesn't know you are watching! I like the reach you have captured here.

[Lisa Pouncy]

This is fantastic. I love the pose with the little stretched out hand. Great processing too xx

[Mr. Spock]

The high key suits this image!

[Linda]

Great timing.

[Darlene]

What a cool B&W shot, Leslie. I like it lightened up.

[Lyn Todd]

I like the look of the final editing in the shot - it gives a really delicate feel to the tiny branches.

[summerfield]

for once, a squirrel with personality! great capture and processing. do you shoot in raw?

[Leslie]

@summerfield no I have been told you can do so much more when you do. Maybe one day I'll take some photography classes at the community college and attempt raw. Do you shot in raw?

[summerfield]

@lesip - yes, i do most of the time, especially landscapes. the only time i don't is when i do panning because that consumes a lot of space on the card. :-)
