Been trying something different today. Firing the K5 remotely with the Sigma 10-20 on. Set at 16mm. Will be trying again so any C&C gratefully received. The litle so and so give the K5 a good check over before posing. Wish I'd taken my Kx to get a pic of that action.

Now they ARE impressive .. the 10-20mm gives the squirrel a 3D look.
Certainly different, first one is the best imo

Wonderful pics, Alan!

No.2 for me. Great action capture.

What a great inquisitive look they have. Fabulous. Is that with a radio remote or the normal IR one?

Very cool. Did you leave some nuts by the camera to attract them to it?

Excellent shots

The more I look at these the better they seem to get

Excellent shots. I have to settle for grey squirrels round here

Thanks for the comments everyone. To answer the couple of questions. I just had a cheap chinese IR remote, and there were peanuts hidden out of shot. Had another go tonight, but it wasn't as successful.

On the plus side I took the Kx too and had the Siggy 150-500 on that. I'll post some pics tomorrow, just to show off my Kx which I hadn't used this year before today

Really excellent. Out of interest did you use a present manual focus or did you let the camera autofocus each shot?
