Using External Lights
Using External Lights for wildlife photography. I tried something different this year with the squirrel photography. I have a table set up along the tree line that I put bird food on.
I put this Queen Ann Lace flower on the table and sprinkled seed all around it. I couldn’t have asked for a better pose from this red squirrel as he jumped on the table and then made his way behind the flower to eat a few seeds.
But it is dark over by the trees, so I set up a light on a tri pod to brighten up the area for more detail. It worked perfectly.
Photography is a great way to let your creativity come to life. Sometimes wildlife goes along with it and makes it more fun. Have a great weekend. 😉

Yap, those shots seem to have a touch of divine intervention 👌🏾👏🏾
🙂 thank you
Great idea, really gives a great look to the shots.
Thank you very much 🙂
I’m very glad this little guy posed so nicely for the photos.
Me to, the Red squirrels sit pretty well when I have enough food out there. I can walk pretty close to them. They don’t mind the cameras or the lights, they deer on the other hand are way more skittish. 😊
Just need more practice with the deer.
Yes, there is one, when she sees me outside she comes running, looking for corn. It is the coolest thing.
Keep the camera handy. 😀
Oh, how cute. Love Queen Anne’s Lace.
Love it
Oh my, you really put our squirrel friend in the limelight didn’t you Sandra?
Smart composition!
wonderful!
Have you a great weekend.
Thank you very much, you as well.
Just a thought, but maybe instead of a light you should use a shotgun to illuminate the squirrel. Ps I love the pictures 🤣😎🙃
Lol, I always look forward to your reactions of my squirrel photos. I know how much you really like them. 😊☺️
I do love them… Roasted 🤣😎🙃
Adorable !
You are truly a pro, Sandra! These turned out beautifully.
Thank you Kellye, it is so fun to try new things when it comes to photography, 😊
Not just the pose you captured. The color palette. It’s autumn, yet there are no vibrant colors to distract our attention from this peaceful little guy working so hard. Blessings to you, Lisa
