Greetings to all! My first post to Dgrin, only found this forum a couple weeks ago and am really impressed with the images and the layouts etc, etc. Have been active on the Pop Photo forums for a while and have learned a lot and hope to be able to join in the fun here too. Have a smugmug site about 9 months now and love it.

This squirrel was shot on Wed at the Capital Park, downtown Sacramento, A fun day using only the Sigma 70-300. I loved the reflection on his eye and the diffused lighting thru the trees behind him. Coments and critques welcome, natch.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Welcome aboard, and I love this shot and the angle from which you took this at, just look at those big eyes looking right into the camera. Cute little guy.

    Thanks for sharing.
    Regards - Dennis

    Thanks for the warm welcome. I look forward to being a part of the group here. I have learned more from members tips and suggestions than from a lot of books I've read, and hope to pass on C&C's too. :D
    Have a great day!

    This guy was about 10/12 ft. slightly above me. I was shooting at 300mm so only cropped it a little. Thanks.
    Have a great day!
