    Fantastic shot , obviously not got the height adjustment quite right :=)

  • gregsmith replied

    Ha ha, I considered removing the centre pole of the tripod, but was concerned it might fall over and did not want to injure my trusty assistant. Thanks Irene.

    This is classic, I just love it. fantastic focus, a great capture, I think he’s looking through the little screen, couldn’t quite reach the viewfinder, a gorgeous candid shot.

  • gregsmith replied

    Yes, Josie, he was too short, but could not complain, as he did work for peanuts! Thanks, Greg.

    lol…howww the HECK…........too funny! i love groundhogs and woodchucks :o)

  • gregsmith replied

    Hey Carla, the only one to ask how, an inquiring mind. If you follow his nose you can see a small brownish dot on the tripod. This is the peanut lodged between the tripod and the camera. You can see some of the peanut shells on his fur. It tool several takes. (Believe he was messing it up intentionally.) ha ha
