This was a pretty dreary week-end but there were a few sunny breaks on Saturday afternoon so I grabbed my camera and dashed over to a near-by college campus hoping to find some interesting subjects. Well the squirrels cooperated!
They certainly did cooperate. I really like the pink in the second. Is the fuzzy, out of focus bg what they call bokeh? Heard the term, but I'm not sure about it.
I'm glad you enjoyed these little guys! Anvilcloud, I had never heard the term "bokeh" before! I Googled it and found this site: http://psdfan.com/inspiration/graphic-design/inspirational-examples-of-the-bokeh-effect/ My out-of-focus areas in the picture are simply created by the large aperture with a telephoto lens. It seems that bokeh refers to how points of light are rendered. I think I have an example of a photo like that and will try to find it.
There are two main things which are important to me – beauty and compassion.
As a photographer, I try to capture and portray the incredible beauty of Nature.
As an animal rights advocate, I am a vegan and devote time to helping animals where I can.
The key is to treat all lifeforms with respect.
I have self-published two books of poetry with accompanying photographs entitled "Discoveries In The Dark" and "Longing For The Light" which can be found on Amazon.
