Curious Critter - a photo on Flickriver

Curious Critter

            Fuji S2 / Sigma 17-35mm ~ 350th sec / F:2.8 / ISO 200

I took this image a while ago with my first Digital SLR. I realised I could bribe these cute little creatures with food so bought some mixed nuts from the supermarket and hey presto... instant cuteness =). 

Taken at Jephson Gardens in Leamington Spa - late November 2002. Although very curious and hungry this little guy was still quite skittish. As soon as I would feed him he would run away. As much as I wanted to lie down in the wet winter grass, if I had he would have just moved so I needed a strategy for getting him in the frame. I decided to put the camera on manual focus (minumum distance @ 17mm), then just stick the camera nearly on the ground and aim it roughly in his direction. It seemed to work =).

This image made it in to a Digital Photo magazine's readers gallery section. They re-cropped it to Portrait and misquoted me but hey, it got a full page so I was pretty happy =).
