omg… I love them all haha. I would love to be looking at you when you’re taking these kind of shots. My guess is that you use a tripod…? I would LMAO so hard that my camera would shake lol. Absolutley gorgeous!!!
Hi Angelique, I never use a tripod for these photo’s, because these rats move all the time….I take lots of photo’s and hope one will come out good enough. With this photo i had not enough light, i wished it was a bit lighter. Thanks!
how in the world did i miss this guy playing? its a french horn….lol and looks like he has it down pat..man he learns quick!! im sure mestro is very happy with him!! lol once again..a WInner!
Too nice. I love a lot animals and it’s a pleasure to have a look on your photos, it’s an other member show me them (sorry I don’t remember yet his ID) but I think he has shown a great interest to your photos, it’s the second I saw , it very very nice. And I asked me how do you do to put so little instruments in their “arms” and can take a photo in same time. have a nice day Fabienne
Hellen , Too nice. I love a lot animals and it’s a pleasure to have a look on your photos, it’s an other member show me them (sorry I don’t remember yet his ID) but I think he has shown a great interest to your photos, it’s the second I saw , it very very nice. And I asked me how do you do to put so little instruments in their “arms” and can take a photo in same time. now you can create a quartet, LOL have a nice day Fabienne
YES..Me too !! : – ) Life is a school… I hope to get good marks for life time. It seems to me like “keren ya’aar ” = French horn . WONDERFUL Ellen !! just love your rats..so clever!
Ellen, I think this shot is just right. The depth of field is good giving blur to body and feet, but achieving sharp focus on the face hands and horn. Also, the contrast between the dark horn and the white rat is striking. You got good balance between the background and the subject. Great shot.
Shooting wildlife is tough enough… but getting any animal to do exactly the right thing at exactly the prime of the moment… and then being on the ball enough to time the shot, that’s talent. applause
this is soooooooooo perfect, Ellen!! Even the wonderful eye contact. It’s just fantastic! Look @ the whiskers on this puppy. And it’s not easy to find brass instruments for rodents :-). The english name for this instrument is ~ French Horn. Stay well, buddy
