astraman   10 #4 Posted March 29, 2011 Cheers for that Matt.  Just to add, none of the images are cropped. That is the size out of camera. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

astraman   10 #7 Posted March 29, 2011 Shooting at a wide aperture (lower f stop) would give an extremely shallow depth of field with the the macro set up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
chem1st   10 #8 Posted March 29, 2011 Do you have a video camera?  The squirrels chasing each other fighting over a female is a very frantic business.  From tree to tree and trying to throw each other out!  It would make good footage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
