Which state has the cutest squirrels?


Theses are wonderful shots and the little boogers have such cute faces.
In a town near me, the squirrels are white. People have caught some and tried to raise them in other places near here but they died. There is a place in Texas that has them too, I think, but they thrive in a small town in Tn.

Ivan, great shots. Especially the last one with the catch light in the little guys eye! Please share some technical information with us such a lens, f stop, etc.


I do not have any secrets but these photos were taken with several different cameras of nonprofessional kind with built in lens.I simply do not pay any attention or care for any technical data (most of my metadata is deleted during download and I never look what is left).My motto is "go with the flow and do what is necessary to achieve your goal".I am not trying to give you a smart Alec answer,that is how I work,honest.Cameras involved were I think Canon PRO90IS (only 2.6 mega),Minolta DiMage 7Hi and Panasonic TZ10.

Thank you for saying as mucn Ivan. I got slammed pretty hard by someone on this site. Since I'm relatively a greenhorn to digital (I still have the Nikon FE 35mm but rarely use it) and I didn't know I could actually find the data on my computer! I did get a chuckle out of it after I found the info, posted it, and one feller said, "See...she found it. Now what are we supposed to do with it?" <Laf'n>

BTW...great photos.

One of the myths I keep running into is that in order to produce a decent photo you must constantly fiddle with your camera set to Manual and a top of the line equipment will guarantee you the top of the line photos.In my opinion it is better to let the camera do the work for you and therefore 99% of my photos are done in AUTO (P) and now and then in AUTO(AV) or AUTO(TV).I never use manual setting.I prefer to concentrate on my subject and compo,not on any technical data.If the situation calls for it I do compensate the exposure and bracket but still in AUTO mode.I am a renegade who thinks it is much more interesting to use nonprofessional equipment to achieve professional grade photos,absolutely hate RAW (TIFF comes close second) and consider any camera with more than around 6 Megapixels an overkill.There,I said it.Thanks for your input and looking.

AWESOME response!! I too think that RAW has become more of a 'perceived' status symbol of sorts, along with only shooting in Manual. I agree that with the strides they have made with the cameras, let them do what they were designed to do.... capture what WE SEE. I am also a firm believer in minimal post processing unless it simply cannot be avoided.

LOVE your AWESOME photos!!
