Formal Portrait

Thanks to The Shutter Speed Challenge, I've been paying more attention to my settings in a way I've never done before. What success I've had in years past has been hit and miss, so it was great to keep after it while Frosty stayed around to be my subject. I think the back drop is a nice compliment to the lovely coat she wore for her sitting...

Fantastic, Louise!! Perfect depth of field - love that 5.6 f-stop! The focus, the backlighting, and the blurred background are just awesome. That'll be a popular shot for sure! Fav by me at least!

If there were ever a demand for squirrel photography, you would easily get the assignment. (notice I said "If")

@allie912 My daughter and SIL sell music to the spin -off version of Getty Images... I'm an optimist ;-)

Super portrait, love the zing of back light against that backdrop. I'm getting to love Frosty, too :)

@ethelperry Thanks, Ethel! She's a little charmer (really!) and far friendlier than the backyard cats who adopted us years ago and still show no appreciation!

A perfect portrait of 365's favorite squirrel!
Well done with the settings, Louise. I have a long way to go with shutter speed settings. Every photo I took yesterday was waaaay overexposed.
