p.1 #1 · Portrait of a Weasel


Saw this little Weasel just sitting on top of a fence post staring at me. He just kept staring so I set up and did a shot.

So portrait of a Weasel with a landscape thrown in

Thanks for looking,

Brian

Beautiful capture Brian, can't say much for the critter. There were probably hundreds within 50 feet and this guy had the best seat in the house and wasn't about to give it up...

With or without the weasel it's an excellent shot. Beautiful sky colours. Well done.

Magnificent shot...lots of fine detail and the weasel is an extra bonus. Well captured!!
Question ; how do you get the flowers so bright and colorfull at the opposite side from the natural lightsource.....do you use fill flash or some dodging (photoshop)?

Thanks

I did dodge the bush, probably a little to much with the top of the bush. A shade darker would tie it in better. The sky colors were nice. The weasel stayed there for a few minutes, then scampered off when I tried to do a closeup with my wide angle. He was pretty cute as Weasels go I guess

Hey Brian,

Very cool! I can't say I have ever seen a weasel out in the wild, so that is really cool. And it's awesome that you got a landscape to add in there too...

Really excellent, Brian!
I agree with you about the fg color being a little darker, but splendid work regardless.

That's quite a shot, with or without the weasel. But cooler with it.

Great capture. My only nit about the image is the fact that I didn't take the shot

Talk about drama! A strong image with the weasel as the peaceful element.

Don't you just love it when that happens? Excellent shot and the weasel is an added bonus.

Love the shot and the story. Never seen a weasel in the wild before. Not too many around here. Saw a ring tail cat once in the nearby hills, no weasels though. Nice shot with or without him.

As a portrait shooter, I think the weasel should have lifted his/her chin a bit...
