Went on a hunt in the forest looking for native wildlife for the Art Wolfe artist challenge today.Didn't find any bears or white tailed deer ..but I did find this cute little chipmunk.
Found an interview with Art Wolfe online and liked what he said here...
"I love going out there and determining that, for example, this little blade of grass is important, and photographing it in a way that makes it become important. "
I like the composition - fav. How on earth did you get such a result at 1/30 sec exposure and no doubt hand held?. I thought these animals were on the scuttle all the time.
@ethelperry I talk to them Ethel.lol. No seriously I just kind of hid behind a log.I think he suspected I was there and just froze thinking I would not notice him.He took off running right after he heard the click!
Serendipity - I love it. You have no doubt guessed that I sometimes look at the exif data out of interest and to help me with "how on earth was that achieved". Inspiration from others may be another way of putting it.
I started to write something, then my eye caught what Taffy had just said above my line I was typing, and I decided she said it better than I was trying . . . so, "what @taffy said."
Darling little forest creature you've photographed. The A. Wolfe quote you've shared is fantastic. I often feel that way — that by focusing in on a tiny flower or a small insect, I've made it really noticeable in this big world.
