Squirrel in black and white


Squirrel in black and white, originally uploaded by juliecinci.

Jacob put a chair next to our sliding glass window and I got right next to this greedy little guy. Look at the claws on his paws! Such definition. His fur provides the perfect pallette for b&w. I like the black eye and black shells to anchor the greys.

I didn't know I'd like b&w until I started taking them. Fun!

This is fun, Julie. I miss squirrels. We have lizards but they lack the fur...

Julie, how are you getting your pics so big? When I upload pics, I select "large" as the size but none are as large as yours... do you have a tip?

That's one brave squirrel. He is so cute!!! DO you use photoshop to convert to B&W?

Very cute! I am trying to get a picture of one of our very fat squirrels. Yours is very nice and I like it B&W a lot.

I love black-and-white photography as well. My sister is an extremely talented photographer and excels with b&w; I could learn a lot from her.

This squirrel reminds me of one that lived outside of my dorm in college -- he used to climb up on our window ledge and then onto our arms to perch while we fed him crackers. We called him (wait for it) Cracker.....
