Raccoon in the back yard

IraRunyan

This afternoon I put out some bread crumbs out for the birds. Just before dark, this female raccoon showed up and ate all of what was left of the bread. The City of Melbourne recently converted to a new garbage can system which the Raccoons can't get into. I think that the Raccoons are now looking for other sources of an easy meal.

These shots were taken with what natural light was available using an ISO of 1600 and a slow shutter speed. Not the best option, but still they did not turn out too bad.......

Wow, Ira. I can't believe ISO 1600. I think they turned out great! I like #2 and #3 the best, especially the expression on #2. Best, Pam

Only the first one is iffy.
The rest you could make a tad darker and be good.
Nice shootin

The expression on the Racoon's face in the second image is priceless! Well caught!
It does look rather hungry. I suspect a lot of birds are going to miss out on crumbs until everything adapts to the new bins.
