Yes - you know who you are!

Holland Park Secret Squirrel Snapping Society, I have a new entry for you...

http://image48.webshots.com/48/9/57/77/326295777pfCUCF_fs.jpg





I was just scampering back and forth yesterday from White City to Egyptian Embassy and home, so I took a detour to see some of this scampering (D70 85mm F2.8 1/750 ISO 200)

Then I went back via Marble Arch, so I have now inaugurated the sister Hyde Park Serpentine Side Secret Squirrel Snapping Society....

I suspect you're talking about me

Love the first shot. Great image. I really like the way you've managed to get him/her in mid bound.

See I've told you all you'd like it there! I took Mrs CVP back there last weekend as she wanted to have the squirrels take nuts from her hands and also to photograph them. Processing them at the moment but I had a very disappointing ratio of decent images.

One other place we're going to visit and see what it's like is [url]www.british-wildlife.com[/url]. Annual season ticket only £22 and also photographic dyas without the public from £45. Also most appealing are the summer evenings photography from £45 when you can see the badgers out.

This really annoys me about Webshots. Steve "Get Carter" has no problem, Chris can obviously see them and yet you can't!!!!!






I know - use Photobox or something else.......

OK - I've "bucketed" them....





Now, this is what I don't understand about 'Bucket - I seem to be seeing them as different sizes when they started the same...

Love the photos, Beano

The way the light on the grass brings up the different shades of green in the first one is great.

Also can't believe the level of detail you've got in the second shot - but then, you have got the greatest 'budget' DSLR

After collating and reviewing mine from the weekend I had a really disappointing ratio of ones with camera shake. Here's one I do like.

I've got two captions at the moment

1. "My fellow squirrels...", and

2. "Hang on lads I think my kebab was a bit dodgy"

Lovely shot....

I can see the "senator speaking to his peers" look immediately!!!

"Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your furry little ears!

Beware the ides of the Nikon-toting people marching through our empire!

Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me to publish our likeness on the great spidery web beyond our borders. My beady big eye has seen these traitors, we shall fight them in the beech trees, we shall fight them on the lawns. Once more unto the beech ....."
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.....
