Squirrels can be so entertaining. This one followed me in the park. I am looking for some comments and suggestions. This image came out too grainy. I am following the guidelines of resizing images to 800 pixels in the width to compensate for the uploading compression. I am wondering if the DOF in the image appears granier due to the resizing. Yesterdays "Peahen" image appeared similar. I need to relocate the AM3 resizing info to veryify if I am correct. Comments welcome. Thank you. 133
wow! what a click... Squirrels are very cute ..

The image looks fantastic, Barbara. The detail in the fur and tree are excellent.

Sometimes I really don't like the way it comes through, but this is one of those photos that works with the process majestically. It's a wonderful, brilliant compo ;)

I see what you mean about the graininess. I went to the peacock and that one is tack sharp. I too, read (somewhere) about posting sizes, but had the same problem you are. Mine are now usually resized to a maximum height or width of 2400.

PS: I like your Squirrel Friend and forgot to say so!
Great shot of a cute squirrel! Well done!

Great shot Barbara! I think the problem with the grain in this shot is due to your high ISO, which is 800!! Looks like this was taken in daylight...? ISO should be between 80 to 200. The lower the ISO the clearer the image.

@Ina: Thank you Ina. You may be correct about the ISO causing the graininess. Although I cannot say if 800 is the accurate posting here. I really never set my ISO at 800. Possibly in error I could have made the setting without intending to do so. I have posted images on AM3 that incorrectly post a 900 mm while I do not have such a lens. I appreciate your input and will be more alert to my settings in addition to experimenting with size to upload photos.
Great Barbara... U r a real hunter with ur powerful gun!!! Oh, sorry , i mean ur camera :D the only thing is noise that appeared in ur DOF which is i think is ISO fault... anyway ur shot and specially ur object selection is cool

this one is masterful - you captured the perfect moment and the graininess from the high ISO actually works very well for this shot...

A very cute squirrel! I like the position and also the details on the tree bark and the little fellow!I met some friendly ones at Schoenbrunn in Wien - they were coming to beg very close without any fear or shame! And then, here in Japan, at Kamakura, in January, they are hungry and therefore they approach people. If you give them something to eat they do it with such quaintness that it is fascinating to watch.But one move and they disappear up the trees.
