Squirrel from hell


GRAY SQUIRREL, EVANSTON, ILLINOIS, NOVEMBER 26, 2009

Pentax K20D
Sigma 135-400 at 400mm
1/180 sec. f8 with on-board flash
ISO 400

Of course the red eye is caused by the electronic flash on the camera, and Photoshop Elements has a suitable tool to deal with it, but it gives the squirrel a certain devilish air and so I decided to let it be. This photo would have been most appropriate for posting at Halloween, when the beasts vastly outnumber the trick-or-treaters at my house.
