RED SQUIRREL LEAPING
Red squirrels are fantastically agile. To get this picture I placed a few hazelnuts on a log, with a second log separated from it. The squirrels quickly learned to jump across the gap in order to reach them. I pre-focused on the landing point, set a fast shutter speed and fired off a fast burst of shots as the squirrel made its leap.
