Squirrels

Today I want to show you some of the best squirrel shots I have shot throughout my photography. I can't get enough of squirrels! They are so cute and hard to resist. Also, I am running low on photos to show you guys which is why I'm posting filler blog posts like this. LOL My road trip photos from the SF Bay Area to Vancouver, BC, Canada are not actually done yet, but I am working hard to finish them. I hope you enjoy viewing these repeat photos!

Full Resolution Photos and Prints: If you want to see full resolution photos or buy prints of any of the photos you see, they are up on my portfolio for viewing. To see my best squirrel photos, use this link.

Please don't spit your gum on the floor! They are bad for wildlife. This photo is of a squirrel eating gum off the floor in Zion National Park located in Utah, USA.

Ironically I tell you not to spit your gum on the floor, but here is me feeding a squirrel a cracker in Fremont Central Park in Fremont, CA. LOL While you are not supposed to feed the wildlife, everyone does it at Fremont Central Park so... Some of these squirrels are so tame, I actually got to pet one before.

 Same squirrel as the one above, he started begging me for food (literally) so I gave it a small piece of Japanese cracker. So cute!

Still the same squirrel as the one above. Interestingly, after it finished the Japanese cracker, the squirrel spat out an almond and started eating it. Little critter had food all along. LOL

A squirrel peeking out from its burrow in Yosemite Village in Yosemite National Park. I saw this squirrel scramble back into its burrow, so I decided to wait with my camera pointed at the entrance. Sure enough, 1 minute later, my work paid off and this little critter decided to take a peek outside.

Today I have photos of this squirrel I took photos of at Point Lobos State Reserve. Here is the story of how I found it. I saw it and approached it to take a photo. It stood up for me and started begging me for food. ROFL :P Cute right? I gave it a small piece of cracker. I bet a lot of people feed it...

Probably one of the best photos I took on this trip. Along the photo of the Western Scrub-Jay in the last post. There is the ocean in the background. Weird how the background didn't blur up too much. I opened up my aperture to the widest! 

Photography Tip: Adjust your aperture according to how much of the background AND the subject you want blurred. Generally for bird and animal photography, it is good to get on the same level as the subject. You either have to lower your camera very low toward the ground, or stand up and shoot same level. This, however, doesn't apply to all photos. As you can see in the photos I have below, I have done some special cute photos shooting the photo of the subject from above.

The squirrel literally begging for food. :P This is what I was talking about in my Photography Tip above. You don't always have to get on the same level with your subject. Sometimes you can achieve great affects shooting from above or below the subject too! 

Another great example of the shooting from above. 

There is the cracker I gave it. HAHA Cute right? 


I only gave it one. It was one of those Japanese cracker thingys. It tried to beg for more though. 

Almost finished! 

After it finished eating the cracker, it spat out an almond and started eating it. Disgusting right? Not the first time I've seen a squirrel do this. LOL They seem to enjoy storing food in their mouth for later. 

Thanks for looking! I hope you have enjoyed these photos I have posted today! Next time I will either have flower photos from or scenery from Point Lobos State Reserve.
