Originally posted by photolady95 Not mobs but some people don't like looking at numerous squirrel shots posted in certain areas of the forums here. And they complain.
Anyway, I too will continue to shoot my squirrels and my birds and I will continue to post here.
As an aside, there are people on this forum that don't like seeing macro shots either so I don't understand the aversion to squirrel shots. To me macro shots are no different than squirrel or birds or any other shots.
I think I understand here - the important words are "
numerous squirrel shots posted in certain areas of the forums here"
Two years ago, early in my days here at PF, I put up feeders in our back yard, partly because my wife is a
bird-watcher, and partly to give me experience in photographing
birds. When I looked out there, most of the time what I saw was not
birds.
I had to admire the cleverness of this fellow mammal {after I made one change, my wife said "she and her friends are probably back at the white board figuring a new attack"}. I put out corn for her, but she simply added corn to the stuff she was taking from the
bird-feeder. Eventually I purchased some professionally-crafted items, and a more-or-less truce has existed for the past two winters {although even today she runs as soon as she sees me, so I can take pictures of her only from behind the glass of our den's window}.
In the middle of all of this, Otis made an appearance in a thread in some other part of the PF; he is totally at-home in this thread built for him by Rupert, but he was totally out-of-place in that other thread. After some very heated comments, that entire sub-thread of that thread was pruned by a moderator. In fact, I believe that happened several times.
It is all a matter of context.
