Wildlife

While I'm out looking for Arizona wildlife, I thought I'd share one of my previous shots. This is a Snapshot I took at the Washington DC zoo. caught an albino squirrel running around during a visit. Shot it with a Canon AE-1 Program (don't recall the lens) about 1990.

"Still Life" is February's subject.
From Wikipedia
Still life photography is the depiction of inanimate subject matter, most typically a small grouping of objects. Still life photography, more so than other types of photography, such as landscape or portraiture, gives the photographer more leeway in the arrangement of design elements within a composition.
Still life photography is a demanding art, one in which the photographers are expected to be able to form their work with a refined sense of lighting, coupled with compositional skills. The still life photographer makes pictures rather than takes them. Knowing where to look for propping and surfaces also is a required skill.
