Default backyard safari

While at a friend's house this past weekend I took some time to shoot some of the critters we had visit.


250mm 1/40 f5.6 ISO 200

250mm 1/100 f5.6 ISO 200

154mm 1/80 f5.6 ISO 400 hi ISO noise reduction on

all of these were shot with the 55-250 IS

Thanks for looking

thanks for the comments. We are in Northern VT so you see a lot of stuff like this around here. I've posted previous pics of a moose visitor and some otters in a pond near by.

Cool backyard to have all those kinds of animals together. In our backyard, we only have ants and stray cants hehe. I like the DOF of the snake. Very well done. Thanks for sharing these nice images.

Great captures. That snake looks like he's eyeballing that chipmunk.
