I had unexpected quest today :)
Lens: 200mm Camera: K01 ISO: 400 Shutter Speed: 1/125s Aperture: F4

This little squirrel was traveling back and forth throughout my backyard and every time it was taking one of the chestnut's that my kids were playing with. After 5-6th one I got curious and came down with my camera. It posed for me for a split of second so I took the shot. Sadly K-01 is very slow at taking shots so I had to wait for another round to retake it.
Both shots taken @ f4.0 1/125 but iso is different - in AV mode ranged from 160 - 320.

Just resized and treated only with slight bump in contrast and mild sharpening after resizing.
I think that old vivitar did nicely .. especially the colors are nice and bright - although the light wasn't good.

1st one is aproximately 1/4 crop :


2nd is about 1/3 crop:

Thanks!
Yeah, I was happy with it - although it tok like 4-5 another chestnuts to finally get them right. These little creatures are having extremely fast motions and freezes only for split of second - so I had to prefocus into the place where it had frozen for a moment in previous run - and wait for the next one haha
