The Thief!

Description}: Actually this was taken by Chloe, my seven year old daughter using the camera she got for Christmas. I hope that's OK! The squirrels in our local park are so used to people that they come from all over if they see you arriving with a bag or anything that looks like it might contain food. I'd bought some sunflower seed for the birds in our garden but this rascal had other ideas and raided the bag which was lying, quite literally, at my feet. Chloe took this, and several others with her new camera. It's a Fuji A850. Photo is as it came off of the card with just a slight crop. No tweaking.

Description}: I took this in our local park just after Christmas. My seven year old daughter has just got her first proper camera (Fuji A850) and so we went looking for things to photograph. The park's full of squirrels, hence the name, and always throws up the opportunity to capture something. I took this one, but some of hers are every bit as good, maybe better! Camera in 'Programme' mode. Cropped & lightened slightly.

Description}: Another shot of my little friend! I didn't do a lot with this one. I just pushed the colour and the contrast a little and cropped it a bit in 'Serif'.

Description}: My daughter found these while we were on a daytrip with her school (I work there) and I just had to get a photograph! I haven't tweaked this in any way, it's exactly as it came off of the card. The camera was set to 'Auto' on a bright, though somewhat cloudy, day.

Description}: Thanks for your compliments and for staying interested! This was the first time I'd tried to clone such a large area and one with so much detail. (it took ages!) so your comments are very much appreciated. I've also added a slight crop as you suggested.

Description}: Hi, Thanks for the comments about my previous 'Downside Robin' upload. I left the leaf in the original as the robin had landed behind it, leaving me little choice when I took the shot! Also, I quite like the 'natural' effect it gives. I did, however, remove the leaf (using Serif) to see how it would look. I cropped it and resized it at the same time as the photo is to be used on the front of my daughter's school Christmas cards this year. I would have preferred not to crop it but it had to be square. Please let me know what you think. Thanks, Bren.

Downside Robin.

Description}: This little fellow lives in the garden at my daughter's Lower School. He's so friendly that he's been known to hop onto my finger!

Description}: I spotted this on my washing line one recent morning after the first snow of the winter. Naturally, I rushed outside with my camera and captured it (and several others) while the kettle was boiling!
