Location
I took this photo at a local cemetery.Time
I took this photo probably in mid-afternoon.Lighting
All lighting is natural sunlightEquipment
My camera is a Nikon D5000 and I was holding the camera when I took the photo with no flash.Inspiration
I go to cemeteries where I find and photograph gravestones for people in the genealogical searches. The squirrels aren't always friendly but neither are they shy. This one sat still long enough for me to snap several photos. It was a beautiful day for both of us!Editing
Just some simple post-processing of adding contrast to make the picture POP!In my camera bag
My camera with a Nikon AF-S Nikkor 18-140mm lens and an extra battery.Feedback
To capture a photo like this requires you to be in the right place at the right time and patience. Patience for the animal to do something worth taking a picture of, even if its just sitting on a gravestone having a snack.
