Some furriends and feathered friends! (Patreon)

Happy weekend, Beastlings! What are your plans?

I went out looking for dolphins with my new 600mm lens. Let me tell you - that thing is almost impossible to use without a tripod!

I didn’t find dolphins today but I did find these guys! I was getting frustrated at not being able to fully stabilize my shots (even holding my breath) until I came across the squirrel. Having a more still and close subject really eases the focusing process!

I tend to use manual focus for ocean scapes and even live shows when shooting from a great distance. There are so many fast-moving textures and colours that it’s easy to accidentally lock focus on something other than the intended subject.

Enjoy these cuties and have a great weekend!

Thank you!
