Ivy League Squirrel
previous / nextOn a recent photo assignment one of the things I was supposed to try to get were some shots of the "insane" squirrels that resided on the campus of Bucknell University. This task proved to be far easier said than done. The squirrels were everywhere this is true, but they would not even give me a chance at getting much more than a blurred shot or they would hide out in the darkest places chattering at me with no hope for me to get a decent exposure.
The squirrels on the Princeton campus however were almost TOO eager to get there picture taken. Hence this shot of this rather plump fellow who was so perfectly framed by this shrub. I didn't even need my telephoto lens. I shot this at 70mm and it is not cropped. I think it was a plot against me to drive me crazy!

As of July 2008 I have decided to post the same photos on "Parallel Universe" as I do here. It has become too complicated to maintain two different photoblogs on a regular basis. Feel free to visit "Parallel Universe" and look through the portfolio/archives since there are quite a few photos there that were never posted here. I will continue to post on both since each one gets different viewers. I have also changed the title of Parallel Universe to Capture This Photography 2.

omg... that's the cutest thing ever! He/she is posing for you :D
Such a happy picture, love it.
lovely!
brilliant shot laurie.
but maybe an even tighter crop on the lil bugger :)
Nice little buddy, I like his big fluffy stomach :)
haha love this photo it made me smile seeing this squirrel sitting in the middle of the photo.
A fine close up of this cooperative squirrel. I feed them daily (peanuts) out my back window and they come and look expectantly until I toss some out.
They are smart and very persistent!
Talk abt co-operative, he's positively domesticated!! Great shot - and exceptional cute factor given the little paws :)
agree with Draw. cute critter, great pose, but it gets lost in all the stuff surrounding him/her.
Great shot! He looks like he has eaten well over the summer!!
A right, proper, ivy league squirrel you've got there. Did you offer payment for his services? I'm sure that he would have come even closer!
This one is too cute, it's like he's just sitting there and looking at you :-)
cute capture... looks well fed, these high brow squirrels...
Very cute and it seems to be fat and happy right now. Great capture!
Who was more suprized? :-))
Bonjour,
Very nice shot..Bravo!
nice selective focus and good vignette. Good moment, Lauriel. Regards from Yogyakarta Indonesia.
I've always loved squirrels and he/she is a very cute one. It's like it was posing for you and just waiting for you to snap the shutter. Very nice capture, Laurie.
excellent capture, very cute model
so cute, nice attitude ;)
L'écureuil de mon jardin est roux presque rouge, son cousin est bien joli !
a sweet dude! great composed.
I don't know the name of that little animal in English, in Dutch we call it een bever. Very great and nice photo. I go this weekend to the island of Ameland. I wish you a very nice weekend (already).

Would have said cute, but the very imaginative side says "EVEIL" He looking straight at the viewer ready to pounce and steal the souls of all thse who dare stare at him the "Ivy Squirrel :)
maybe he's too plump to run around and just sits there munching.. lol! excellent shot! the light looks so "divine" :D
Lovely capture, so adorable, excellent clarity.
Hey, did you give this a slightly closer crop since I last commented? Cute. Or maybe I am just seeing differently.
he looks like he is well stuffed on nuts or something!
This is quite surreal! He almost doesn't even seem real! I totally understand your feeling of being mocked by this fella :)
GREAT shot! It's like he's posing! I've been trying for weeks to capture one - and you have made it look so easy!
haha! this is too funny, doesn't even look real...the way he's posing. Very cute!
Lovely shot, Laurie. I guess squirrel culture changes from location to location! :)
Haha...great shot! Very cool to capture him (or her) on your photo.
Stunning capture, just like a Nature Magazine picture!
Great catch!
LOL, a sweet portrait of this guy.
