Fuzzy sap sipping squirrels
This glorious, sunny week-end afforded great photo ops of squirrels (no foxes alas) but it has been very frustrating! I found two occasions where squirrels were sipping sap (a sure sign of spring) and then just sitting contentedly as they savoured their treat. Ah ... a perfectly motionless animal in bright sunshine! Ideal for photography right? Well ... no. At least not for my camera. For some reason my auto-focus would not work. The animal's eye (critical for focus) was not sharp. I tried over and over! I do not understand this unless my equipment has become defective. Having just viewed my final fuzzy focused photo I am going to post older squirrel shots to console myself!

Marvellous pics as usual. You are one talented Gal!
ReplyDeleteI much likey the last one. Very cute.
ReplyDeleteThat autofocus thing happened to me once -- at the Grand Canyon, no less. Took it into a camera shop and he tried the lens in a different camera. It worked. Put it back in mine and it worked. Go figure.
Oh dear, I hope that you get your camera problem sorted out soon!
ReplyDeleteI love your squirrel photos! I watch the ones that are out back every day and find them endlessly entertaining. Flighty! xx
