About the Image(s)
Camera Canon 80D f6.3 1/400 ISO 12800
The squirrel was one of the ones who would strip these pinecones off the trees and drop them on our camper at night. We were camping in Fairbanks Alaska, and I was able to catch him one day in a tree stripping one of these. I used a high ISO because he was in bad lighting conditions.
In post I denoised in ACR and removed the camera spots. In PS I brought out the warm of the squirrel brunt the chips and part of the sky and cropped.

The image seems to be a little dark to me. I would increase the brilliance, brightness, contrast and reduce the shadows.   Posted: 02/19/2026 16:23:03
