Would you say this squirrel has been eating flesh? Check out the bloody teeth (click image to view larger).

I took this on Boston Common. Those squirrels have clearly learned that people won’t hurt them and might even give them them food: he was only about 2 feet away from the lens. I didn’t feed him.
shutter speed: 1/30 sec, focal length: 72 mm (432 mm in 35 mm equivalence), aperture: f/3.5, distance: about 2 meters
I took this picture on my honeymoon in Havre de Grace, Maryland. The squirrels on this boardwalk were not at all afraid of humans, and it shows. I would not be surprised if this guy had been hand fed a few happy meals this year. (more…)
f:170mm, aperture: f/3.5, shutter: 1/20, distance, 3 meters
some additional stats (since Michael asked for stats): Based on the estimated subject distance of 3 meters, and using a circle of confusion of 0.005 mm(because the sensor’s so small), the near limit of the d.o.f. is 2.82 m, far limit: 3.21 m, for a total d.o.f of 0.39 meters. This means everything closer than about 20 cm in front of Jeff’s face, or further than 20 cm behind is out of focus.
shutter: 1/60, focal length: 40mm, aperture:f/2.7
This was shot in July at the Montreal Jazzfest while listening to a concert in the street.

I thought I’d stick with the avian theme today: European Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) on Boston Common, 16 Sept 2007.
focal length: 432 mm, aperture: f/3.5, shutter: 1/160, distance: 2.5 meters
It is estimated that the North American population of european starlings numbers around 200 million. All these birds descend from a population of 60-100 individuals which were brought from Europe and released in New York’s Central Park in the early 1890’s. This specimen is a juvenile. Adults are more predominantly black.
