Hopping Mad!

Was weeding the flower bed earlier, when this little fella jumped on my foot and scared the bejesus out of me! I quickly popped inside and managed to get what I think are a couple of decent ones... he wasn't too keen on staying still, hence the high ISO.

1.

F5, 190mm, 1/250s, ISO 1600

F5.6, 190mm, 1/250s, ISO 1600

Re: Hopping Mad!

Very nice. #2 especially is a great shot. First and foremost, the focus is spot on. Shallow DOF, but the eyes are super sharp. The position has made for a very cool photo indeed. Looks like Spiderman. It's certainly not a pose/angle I've seen used before (like I have loads of experience ).
Very well captured.

Re: Hopping Mad!

Thanks - not really tried shooting little things like this before, and it's quite difficult to get anything decent whilst hand-holding the camera in the shade. I like #2 also - he looked like he was about to jump on me again!
