Behind The Lens

Location

Farm Pond Park in Framingham, Massachusetts.

Time

This was taken about 6 pm on March 9, 2021.

Lighting

It's a simple silhouette: over exposed background, in this case the sky, with an underexposed subject.

Equipment

Hand held using a Canon EOS RP with a Canon EF-S 55-250 f/4-5.6 IS STM. The focal length was 250mm at f/5.6 with 3200 ISO.

Inspiration

I was struck by how the squirrel was perfectly still, framed against the sky by the tree.

Editing

Sharpened and noise reduction.

In my camera bag

Camera and a telephoto zoom lens for birds and small animals and a wide-angle for landscapes.
