Fun time with an un-expected model..

[rawHulk]

Was strolling through the park last friday when this guy was busy doing his routine work.. I slowly got as close as I could to him and started snapping away.. I think because of the sound of the shutter click, he saw me and then then started posing for me in all the different ways.. He then also came so close to me as if its time for me to pay for his modeling.. but since I didn't have any food for him.. he then was threatening me that he would just run away and not pose for me again.. I almost got 100 shots of him during the whole time.. Here are some fun shots that I liked during the whole session..

What a cute series of shots, I took some of a red squirrel in april, They are pretty rare over here in the UK all the greys killed them but he are slowly growing in numbers now. He looks a cheeky little chap and very photogenic aswell. Thanks for sharing.

Very fun shots... I like the the last one the most I think. Good lighting on the squirrel. Thanks

It looks like he is really smiling at you in the last one! lol Great captures!

Oh my gosh he is so cute! And it really does look like he is smiling in that last shot. That second one is my fav. and the third is almost like he's playing peek-a-boo! these had to be fun to take!

Now you need to keep peanuts in your pocket so when you see him again you can repay him. I love the 3rd shot, he shows so much personality in that one !! Great job

It was very much fun. The second one was just a lucky shot when he suddenly moved towards me.. I didn't know what he was doing and so just snapped as many shots as I could before he moved away. lol. There are a couple of shots as a series after the second one.. at that point.. it seems like he was really trying to warn me that I better feed him or else he is going up the tree and not modeling any more.. lol.. because that's what he did after that..

Will sure keep that in mind next time I go to any park. This was my first time shooting squirrels and man was I surprised..

Exactly.. that's what I thought.. when he was posing for me all the time as if he is doing them intentionally..

Here are some other shots from the same series..







This was when he stopped modelling and climbed up the tree.. he didn't move an inch after that.. lol
