Short-eared Owl hunting (irregular dip, diving, direction changing, etc) over an open field, flying at full speed, 250 feet away, taken at dusk (say, 10 minutes before complete darkness)...

Great shot. To get anything in these conditions is amazing, let alone a flying bird.

I commend you and Walter on your moon shots. Maybe FS will take a hint and try to learn how to get good moon shots too instead of the ugly things he posts. I got tired of looking at his kind of moons shots somewhere around the second grade.....and have seen millions like them since....which is millions too many! Such a waste to see a budding excellent photographer like FS wasting his efforts on boring ugly moon shots like his.

Is that some kind of joke or are you just nasty?

I confirm this is really nasty ! No, it's only a joke

People do mistake/misunderstand things on the internet quite often....that's why we need squirrels to keep us straight!

Yep, that old Rupert is "one nasty dude!" That's why squirrels are always wanting to hang him!

With this latest insult to squirrels...and me.....I rest my case! ....and to add insult, FS shot it in Crop Mode!


It ain't a squirrel! It is my "detail lady" working on my 20 year old Jeep! She keeps all four of our older vehicles lookin' like new!


My 15 year old truck....she just finished with it.


Old is fine if you take care and keep them in top condition......new ones are very expensive and often not actually "better".

Used my new Tammy 17-50......I need some practice with this lens. It is nice and seems like a good addition at only $299. new from B&H but it needs a better shooter than me to get the best out of it.

Regards!

Love your Art Lens shots! You really are progressing so nicely.....most of the time!

I like those two...the nuts look delicious.....are they honey roasted?....squirrels loved that shot!

Playing around with cropping to panorama from 20mm... Prolly would have been better with a few tripod shots stitched at iso100.

Just perfect! I forwarded these two shots to my lady (having fun in Spain at the moment) as a reference how the proper car treatment should look like. Still waiting for her acknowledgement

My detail lady is so good at what she does, is very reasonable and loves to keep them in top condition. I'm lucky for sure! A clean well polished vehicle encourages good maintenance and a ensures a long life and fewer problems. It is one of the lager expenses in life and if properly cared for can give good value for your hard earned cash!

Squirrels are off in a prayer meeting, praying for the Peanut Tree sap to flow again......looks like their prayers were answered!

Agree with Eaglem! Love 'em!

FS I told them, but they said you are lyin' to keep from sharing.

Didn't take long after the sap started to flow again.....This little Rookie is smart!

"I slipped out of the prayer meeting....and my prayers were answered right away!"



"Look what those suckers are missing...I found the Mother Lode of sap!!"



"While they pray for sap....I eat it!!"

Nice! That second shot is quite striking.





Been making a concerted effort to shoot in different locations with some new models.

Thanks Eaglem...squirrels are pretty well trained on how to get the best light on their handsome bodies.

@LeRolls You got some pretty nice light there yourself! Squirrels dedicate this to your girls...and say thanks!
