Meet Storøre (Bigears) Photo

Photographer’s Note

Look at those incredibly ugly hind feet, with fingers or toes almost 3 cm long with pointed claws! Red squirrels have five toes on the hind feet, and they are highly specialized climbing tools. On the front feet there are only four fingers or toes as the thumbs have developed into pads they use to hold the food while eating.

The name “red” squirrel is not entirely adequate, as only 20-25% of the animals actually are red, most are dark brown with a touch of grey. Storøre here is as red as they come, but he and a female squirrel - namely his mother - are the only red ones in a group of nine.

Storøre was born in the beginning of May, and first time I saw him was around Midsummer. Young red squirrels stay in the nest until they have developed teeth, which takes around six weeks. By then the youngsters are about the same size as the grown-ups, at least in length.

The squirrels in my backyard know very well where some of the food and most important the hazelnuts come from, so they are very anxious to come inside and explore for themselves. So far I have managed to keep them out but two days ago one of them slipped through an open window!

I’m not sure they are very smart, this fellow apparently panicked and could not find the way out… After running around in the house for many minutes he finally hit the right window and the way out, frankly I doubt he will try this again!

And I promise… this is the last squirrel I will publish, hehehe…

But this time you will find more squirrels in the workshops!

Good morning, neighbour of today! ;-)
This one simply is gorgeous and cute - and technically perfect! Is it sitting on a handle bar of a bicycle? I wonder what it thinks about your feet, fingers and toes ...?! ;-)
A really worth-seeing picture!
Greetings from very summerly Germany - and have a nice weekend!
Frank

Cricri (46341) 2009-08-01 0:33

Hello Pablo
La note est intéressante et amusante, j'imagine la scène de ce petit rongeur dans la maison, le pauvre il a du être paniquer...c'est tout mignon, bon détails et couleurs resortir par le fond flouté, très jolie
Good week end
cricri

bakes888 (18465) 2009-08-01 0:40

Hi Pablo. Far too cute! My wife goes all gooey just at the sight of them ;-). And we have none in NZ. Great portrait, excellent pose and nicely defocused BG. The catchlight in his eye adds good life too. Thanks for sharing.
Have a good weekend, Paul.

Amaz (10283) 2009-08-01 0:50

Bicycling fan at eating, Pablo!!
Very interesting capture!!
Good and peculiar portrait!!!

Well taken!!!

Best regards,

jhm (86562) 2009-08-01 1:17

Hello Pablo,

This is simple a fantastic picture the small red squirrel above on the handle of the bike.
What a lovely portrait, sharpness and clarity are very well.
Lovely composition best friend.
Colours and presentation are superb, TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John

snunney (38467) 2009-08-01 1:18

Hello Pablo,
A wonderful close-up of this cheeky and adventuresome squirrel. The fur is beautifully rendered with lovely warm colours and exquisite detail. Good use of depth of field to lift him from the background. Very well done.

PixelTerror (89969) 2009-08-01 2:02

Hi Pablo
On the bike.... is it a new norwegian GPS system ???
Excellent portrait with wide aperture, top image !
Have a nice day JY

serp2000 (10849) 2009-08-01 3:14

Hej, Pablo,
Excellent! This is one of best photos here today. Thanks! My compliments!

Serghei

Uhu (7731) 2009-08-01 3:33

Aw, the squirrel! Belka in Russian. I also don't think that these particular rodents are quite smart, but they are nice-looking for a change!
Great photo - unbeleivable detalisation and clarity.

pierrefonds (28122) 2009-08-01 4:40

Hi Pablo,

The subject is well framed. The point of view is allowing us to seee the details and colors of the red squirrel. The blurred background is putting in evidence the foreground. The light has a good effect on the colors of the squirrel. Have a nice day.

Pierre

bobocortis (14158) 2009-08-01 5:50

Hello Pablo.
Very high sharpened portrait of this squirrel eating his lunch on the bike.
The vanishing background create a 3D effect.
Best regards.
Bobo.

cherryripe (19873) 2009-08-01 9:22

Hei Pablo
This is so cute and this is so original with him sitting on the bicycle handle. He's posing nicely and his red fur stands out so well against the green bokeh.
Hilsen
Nikki

Giorgio (9118) 2009-08-01 10:18

- Ha, ha, ha! Your squirrel is back, you was jealous of mine Pablo, anyway, he is splendid and evil-minded you should nickname it "Big Foot" hi!
All the best.
giorgio

TheMystic (896) 2009-08-01 13:33

Precious - this makes me remember a tug-of-war I had with such a fellow over a donut in a park in Stockholm many moons ago. They can be quite insistent!
Very nice details and color. Good note!
Cheers
Otto

fanni (9979) 2009-08-01 14:02

Hello Pablo,
if I could set the rules on TE I would love to see more photos of animals here! and I do hope (secretly) that it will not be the last photo of "your" squirrel ;)
I like such photos very much. And I like this one especially. It's filled with kindness and hope, first of all. And, of course, its technical quality is excellent - especially the colours and DOF :) Oh yes, the WS photos are simply wonderful :)) I wish I had squirrels visiting our countryside yard, too! so in this respect I envy you, pardon me for this, please :)
And a special thanks for a very interesting Note to this photo! it was written perfectly, in my opinion.
Best wishes for a nice Sunday from rainy Moscow :)
Elena

bukitgolfb301 (5916) 2009-08-01 18:38

Hi Pablo,
what a wonderful capture! This beauties are usually very cautious and never allow anybody close to themselves. Great details and beautiful *face* expression.
Stunning photo!
Mike

emka (25352) 2009-08-01 23:36

Hi Pablo, I like squirrels so much. Nice to have them in the garden. But not everyone like it, they say the squirrel do much harm. Great shot!

Bonjour, cher Pablo,
Je savais qu'il existait des écureuils non farouches, mais à ce point, cela défie la compréhension.
Une chose est certaine, la photo est excellente !
Les détails sont stupéfiants. Félicitations.
Amitiés.
Philippe

ChrisJ (72276) 2009-08-02 2:03

Hi Pablo

A superb use of a shallow dof, with good bg bokeh & excellent sharpness on the red squirrel. Good framing & an interesting note. Tfs!

Gerrit (37600) 2009-08-02 2:18

Hi Pablo,
wonderful capture of the squirl on the bike.
Funny little animals and very iconical.

josepmarin (35821) 2009-08-02 3:13

Hi Pablo,
A fantastic capture of the squirrel on the handlebar of your bike, while she eats some delicacy.
This is not an easy photo, but in this case, the squirrel seems to pose for the photographer with a lot of professionalism.
A funny and nice composition.
Best regards,
Josep

jplebrun (18404) 2009-08-02 4:38

Hi Pablo
Hé il semble à l'aise sur un vélo cet écureuil, belle photo animalière bien pris, bravo.

Hi Pablo,
what a great 'portrait" of this our little friend!
The bike help it to improve your composition.
Sharp and colors are perfect.
Congratulations and have a nice Sunday,
Wagner.

danyy (70671) 2009-08-02 9:15

Bonjour Pablo,
j'aime beaucoup cet animal, l'écureuil. Tantôt amitieux dans certains pays, tantôt très farouche et peureux comme en Belgique où ils sont difficiles à photograhier.
Une photo nette, pleine de relief grace à cette DOF faible, des couleurs vives.
My best regards.
Daniel.

Fis2 (48720) 2009-08-02 9:31

Witaj Pablo!
Super moment, super place...
Good frame and nice colors.
I like the depth.
Well done.

UlfE (9792) 2009-08-02 12:15

Hei Pablo,

A wonderful shot. The sharpess is amazing and the squirrel looks perfect against the blurred background. I love the reflection in its eye and the feet against the black handle. Even in the nails relections could be seen. A superb photojob! TFS and have a nice Sunday evening!

Hälsningar

Ulf

LeeLoo (5606) 2009-08-02 12:25

Dear Pablo Minto!

AKITA (6596) 2009-08-02 13:17

dear Pablo,
its tail looks like mahican hair,
naughty eyes, cute hands, and whole its figure is lovely.
always I think the next ruler after human on the earth is, maybe, the squirrel or the penguin...
anyway wonderful shot really,
thank you,
Akihisa

belido (18828) 2009-08-02 16:56

What a lovely shot, my friend. It seems they are your friends since the pose is always convincent. Very good approach. Detph is great, focus as well. Well done!

An excellent portrait of this little fellow. Sharp closeup showing all the details. That special 'tree branch' is a fun detail too.

Ola_Kwiatek (4138) 2009-08-03 2:57

Nice squirel, very nice scene. Beautiful natural colors. Good capture and framing. Very good sharp.
Cheers

feather (51050) 2009-08-03 6:12

This is a real cut image of the red squirrel. It sounds as if they treat your garden as home so you will have had plenty of opportunity to hone your technique. I love the little storyboard in the WSs.
The red squirrel is native to Britain too, but for some reason they introduced the larger American grey squirrel which is expanding its range across the country, and taking over the habitats of the red squirrels, which are now in danger. There are estimated to be only 140,000 red squirrels left in Britain, with over 2.5 million greys.
Kath

molla (6979) 2009-08-03 6:50

Squirrel on a bike tour,well there's still a few things that wonder.
Hej Pablo

gunbud (29345) 2009-08-03 18:13

Hi Pablo,
Looks like this handsome fellow is perched on a bicycle handlebar.
He is seen in incredibly sharp details with his red colors standing out nicely against his white belly.
That is quite a happy tail he his showing he has a high opinion of himself.
Regards, Tom

jmdias (21815) 2009-08-04 3:17

Yes, somebody need to get pedicure and trim those nails. It's getting to long and can hurt. Anotehr really nice detaisl shot of the squirrel. The star of your recent posts, and you know him well.
Thanks
Way

Didi (37611) 2009-08-04 13:36

Hi Pablo
Very charming picture, very amazing catch, I think it's impossible for me to make similar because the squirels are wilder in France.
Well done
Greetings

plimrn (20455) 2009-08-04 16:18

Hi Pablo,
As Paul notes, this is really an excellent wildlife photo with your subject sharp and the BG soft, the light management is perfect, really showing off the red.
So how did you get him to pose for you on the microphoe of your video camera?????
HLJ, Pat

yedirenk (7997) 2009-08-04 16:43

Congratulatiosn for this superb "portrait", the 'desicive moment" very well collected. Attitude of the animal, colors and contrasts very well collected too.

jlbrthnn (42689) 2009-08-05 5:49

Hello Pablo,
This tamed squirrel is moving and tempting. Your note describes with effectiveness the characteristic of the animal. The photograph is very precise and clear, the blur of background emphasizes russet-red fur. It is an excellent work.
Have a nice day
Cordially
Joël

jafadabret (42748) 2009-08-05 10:44

Bonjour Pablo.
Cette photo d'écureuil est d'une grande beauté. J'aime la netteté du sujet assis sur la poignée d'un guidon de VTT. Le fond flou le met parfaitement en valeur.
Excellent !
Amicalement
Jacques

vasilpro (12045) 2009-08-05 16:15

Nice little beast sitting on your bike. And you say he has ugly fingers :o))
He is way to confident with you!

Hi dear Pablo
Wonderful portrait of the squirrel in the bike.
Magnificent sharpness and details. I also like the low DOF and contrast with the background colours
TFS and have a nice day
Aires

jemaflor (41409) 2009-08-06 12:57

Hi Pablo,
well taken, interesting attitude, perfect map and bag to give a well made shot, bravo !

Angshu (35553) 2009-08-06 21:48

Hello Pablo
At this rate in which you're posting pictures of these cuties, you would soon be dubbed as the Squirrelman of TE! I see of lot of squirrels here, but never managed to get a look at their hind limbs...quite vicious :-) Fine DOF for this cute portrait! I'll hunt my archives to add to your theme!
Regards
Angshu

danos (36346) 2009-08-06 23:37

Good morning Pablo,
what a cute squirrel is this? Excellent portrait of this little fellow eating its hazel-nuts.Excellent the management of the lighting conditions as its pose too.Well done.

Have a nice day,Danos

vmf-214 (1624) 2009-08-07 0:28

Hi Pablo,

Well framed shot of the squirrel eating on the handle bars, He or her is doing a great balancing act, The details and sharpness are prefect. The squirrel is well focused and great job on the color contrast Pablo.

Best regards
Jason.

denisn72 (7427) 2009-08-07 6:18

Hello Pablo,
The squirrel is very clear and sharp. The blurred lush green background makes the squirrel pops out the picture. The light management and the exposure are well handled. It is cute and lovely! Good note! Well done!
Best regards
Denis!

jaywalker (13097) 2009-08-07 11:27

Hi Pablo, A wonderful little animal & you have photographed it superbly, great detail with excellent DOF, Red squirrels are not that common in England as the Gray squirrel has over taken their feeding grounds, however they are protected in parts of Britain & are now making a comeback, a lovely picture, TFS, kind regards Wilson.

Hello Pablo. A photo of the special art. Real originally. The pose is ideal. And everything in best technical quality. Very beautifully. Best regards, Wolfgang.

BilboCA (734) 2009-08-09 21:37

Hi, Pablo,

Well, he is way too cute!

Your capture is really excellent -- he jumps off of the page because of the superb clarity, for instance in the individual whisker and eye lash hairs. I almost imagine that I could see the photographer's reflection in his eye!

I also like that he is perched on a bicycle grip!

Regards,
- William

Bluejeans (35730) 2009-08-11 6:15

Ola Pablo ,
Que bela captura com este esquilo a comer , interessante o lugar onde se ele encontra uma bicicleta , tem uns detalhes magnificos o pelo , boas cores , parabéns!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

adores (16189) 2009-08-11 17:58

Hi Pablo!
This little squirel eating is just great here!It's perfectly framed. I like the blurred background.I like the Ws too, especially Ws A, the last one.

maloutim (4415) 2009-08-13 0:47

Hi Pablo!
I don't get tired of your squirrels! And apparently the other members neither! They are so cute, and in danger of extinction, I believe; except in your backyard! To tell you the truth, I wouldn't have noticed his not so cute feet if you hadn't mentioned it! But you did well giving that explanation about climbing tools! One always wonders how they can be so agile!
Your picture is excellent as usual: so sharp against the blurred background!
What is the litlle fella standing on by the way?
TFS, and have a great day!
Marie Louise.

mvdisco (11881) 2009-08-14 8:43

Hi Pablo,
WoW!! a great caught of view of this little red squirrel, Excellent Point of View and fine details,

Hello my friend Pablo
Sweet guy indeed!...and your telephoto lens carried off succesfully the high resolution test!
Lighting is top notch on both sides of fur.
I saw kangaroo-rats on tv; the tail is as long as thier body, have long posterior legs and move jumping at about 35cm high.
Did you consider opening a day nursery for squirrels?!!
Thanks for your visit.
Robert

giorgimer (23577) 2009-08-15 22:57

daddo (12249) 2009-08-17 1:04

Hi Pablo. Nothing about this little critter is ugly, including his hind feet. As for intelligence, at least he makes hay while the sun shines, as the old proverb says- unlike many humans who find themselves homeless in old age.I love the sharp details and of course the colour. Looks like he is playing a tiny flute. Regards. Klaudio.

skippy007 (8205) 2009-08-18 22:30

Hello Pablo, I think I recognise this little fellow from you previous posts or maybe these little creatures all look alike ;-)). Fantastic colour & clarity, nice definition & reflected light in his/her eye, very cute creatures, I doubt this will be your last, how can you stop photographing them?. I also like your entertaining note.
Thanks
Take care
Santo

This is just so beautiful. The red squirrel on the handlebar with perfectly metered exposure. The shallow focus is just stunning against the silenced background. Well written notes and thanks for sharing.

Olá Pablo,

Very good note!
Very good timing. Details are effective and interesting. Suggestive shot.
Best regards and a good weekend.

Filipe

Longroute (11925) 2009-08-29 4:16

This is one of those rare cases when the subject in the center is fine and proper. So the composition is well balanced and immediately appealing, thanks also to the fine chromatic contrast between the brownish squirrel and the green bg. And it must be said that the subject immediately meets our smile and appraising, well captured in this curious pose and expression.
It's hard to believe (and accept) that this tiny and cosy creature is considered a plague in many Northern countries like England...
Best regards,
Donato

Urs (4718) 2009-08-29 7:20

Dear Pablo

A really fantastic squirrel shot and well written note, congrats. I like the little fellows a lot, but so far I never managed to capture one with my camera. Perhaps I never have tried hard enough. And he is very sharp, the colors are perfect and DOF is fine due to the aperture - well done

Best regards
Urs

gervaso (6750) 2009-09-01 12:24

Hello, Pablo!

The picture is technically perfect! Excellent use of DOF to focus the squirrel! Excellent colors! Good job!

JCG (27569) 2009-09-02 6:42

Hello Pablo,

This squirrel became the animal of the family apparently !!! And I notice that the animal also benefits from the walks in the bicycle… Superb portrait, I like much qualities of the image and the expressive development of this attracting small squirrel. Well done Pablo and thank you for the complementary photographs.

With all my friendships and with soon,

Jean-Charles

anducina (8261) 2009-09-04 10:43

Hi Pablo,
Very sweet little guy, very funny and interesting note. Excellent capture and clarity. It must be absolutely great to have squirrels in your back yard !
TFS and a nice WE !
Andreea

riclopes (33933) 2009-09-07 1:20

Olá Pablo, I wonder what my cats would do to one of these fellows if they caught one trying to enter in their territory. It seems that you had some fun with your camera before scaring it out of the house. Love the whole series, although this one is the cutest one with great details well described in your note.
Greetings,
ricardo

ophelcia (5786) 2009-09-07 8:31

Ciao Pablo,

Hai messo tu questo piccolo scoiattolo sopra la manopola della tua bike?

I like it! Too!

Hi Pablo, A beautifully sharp and well coloured nature photo. The squirrel is a good size for the frame and the item he is standing on suitable for TL photo. Good work and tfs. Murray.
