Hungry Squirrel

[mindcrime]

Sitting in a chair next to a window with a birdfeeder hanging near by, well right outside the window infact. This female squirrel decided to pop onto the feeder for some food. Because the window had a bug-mesh over it I was blind to the squirrel and managed to get this shot of her. I took about 20 but had trouble focusing due to the mesh window. Still, I think this turned out OK. Did it?

Used my D50 with the 18-55 kit lens. Tried various settings due to being indoors and couldn't use a flash. I certainly learned about shutter speed, aperture and exposure comp taking these shots.

Yep - that one's right on the money. You did well to take advantage of the situation there.:)

She had huge nipples. I think she must have just given birth recently as she was still a little rotund around the middle and her nipples looked a bit raw. Here's a photo to prove "she's" a she.
