Working on preparing my bee garden for the spring and the dog "helped" by trying to munch some alyssum

Once when I was still training with a professional ballet school, we were angels in a production of Hansel and Gretel

In South Dakota doing mission work and was able to capture this little guy (gal?)

Behind The Lens

Location

We had just put a bird feeder out on the deck so we could watch the birds from the kitchen window. Not too long after, a few squirrels discovered it. I was impressed by this because to get to the feeder, the squirrels had to climb up a 30 ft tall deck and then leap 4 feet to make it onto the feeder, which is not stationary.

Time

This was taken in the evening. I was cleaning up the dishes and looked up because I saw movement and lo and behold there was a squirrel!

Lighting

I didn't have anything in mind about the lighting when I took this picture. I was simply trying to get documentation of this creature hogging the birdseed!

Equipment

This was taken with a Canon PowerShot SX280 HS. There's a screen out the back window and it focused past it perfectly.

Inspiration

This capture was pure luck. The squirrel itself inspired me to start taking photos of it.

Editing

I did nothing other than turning it black and white.

In my camera bag

I don't keep any kind of equipment, I'm a complete amateur photographer with a great camera!

Feedback

I would say to just watch for animals acting naturally. I didn't set out to take this picture, it was a completely candid shot of the squirrel. Natural is key for animals.
