This shot was taken with the Nikon D70, Sigma 100-300mm f4 EX HSM and Sigma 1.4x TC, 1/320s f/5.6 at 420.0mm, hand held. With the TC, f/5.6 is the max aperture.

Very sharp shot handheld Kerry, very impressive

Thanks, Glen.

This lens is big and heavy, but balances well for me on the d70. Without the weight, I can't hold this focal length at such a low shutter speed. Even then, the keeper rate goes down. Continuous shooting mode is a blessing for me.

Wow, I never knew squirrels had whiskers! That is one awesome shot.

Very nice shot of a very nice squirrel

IMHO, green leafs at the bottom right corner are bit distractive but in any other aspect great photo

Very nice Kerry - really sharp. As you say continuous mode can be very useful.

You must have very steady hands Kerry, that is very sharp. And a very good shot too.

Kerry - beautiful - you are an inspiration - and the subject is really cute

Gorgeous shot, cute subject, but he looks a bit skinny and undernourished

I think you've found the sweet spot on that lens.

I love the pic and don't mind the leaves. But I'd be inclined to clone out the OOF white bit to the right of the squirrel.

Well done.

Agree with all the above, excellent shot, and very sharp

Thanks to all, for the very kind comments.

This guy was very timid and quick moving. I don't recall how many shots I was able to take, but I do recall just pressing the shutter and letting the camera do its magic in continuous mode. One of the last shots was just a bit of blurred squirrel and a lot of grass.

Sorry that I have come in late on this one Kerry. Great shot: just love animals. BTW: just had the opportunity to look at your pbase site, fantastic work there as well.

Thanks, Fozzie! Your gallery is pretty cool. A bottle of Chivas and a Markins means seriously great fun! :lol:

Heh, I've been a nutjob for longer than I can remember. :shock:

I've had a lot of fun, doing those photog shots.

It's O.K. Kerry,

You know what they say about people in glass houses :roll:

I think it's a cool Gallery, can't see any Nutjobiness in it all

Mic.

hmmm, cloudy vision? Maybe that's a sign that you need a new lens.... Like one that has more clarity to allow you to see the loose screws.
