Congratulations on your People's Choice win. Your incredible photo really demonstrates the ability of some squirrels to find novel ways to gain access to bird feeders.

Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken in our backyard...about 12 feet from the house. He got there before the birds!

Time

It was probably 3:00 PM..him & chipmunks were here so often the last couple years.

Lighting

No special lighting..all natural.

Equipment

I shoot with a Canon Rebel T3..taken with 55-250mm lens. Sure I must have been using a Vivitar Medium Dark Series 1 filter. Don't use Tripod much as I should so Image Stabilization is huge for me.

Inspiration

Was seeing a lot of Chipmunks hanging off feeder but this was 1st Grey seen in it. Couldn't help myself!!

Editing

Yes, I use Lightroom 5 for all my Photos.

In my camera bag

Being handicapped from Stroke I generally only have the Kit Lenses. When I go to really shoot I have Backpack with Kit Lenses, Macros & Tripod.

Feedback

Just keep your eyes & your shutter finger ready..you never know what might be looking back at ya!!
