January 2026 - I’m Gonna Jump!
About the Image(s)
Camera: Nikon D750
Lens: Nikkor 200-500MM Zoom at 500mm
ISO:3200
Shutter Speed: 1/400
Aperture: f5.6
Processed in Photoshop with adjustments for brightness and contrast. I also used a bit of blurring to obscure a busy background.
Taken at the local nature preserve that I visit regularly. This grey squirrel didn’t seem to care that I was standing right in front of him while he was considering whether to jump the the other stump, although he was chirping loudly before, during and after I passed by.

I would denoise this image. Unfortunately, in nature you are not able to blur the background. It also seems that the squirrel is blurry. I like the composition. Posted: 01/16/2026 18:54:10
