Chipmunk In Cactus

: Chipmunk In Cactus; While out checking up on the Dove, I spotted this young chipmunk playing in the cactus. I can't believe how fast they can climb around in it. This one would climb up in the cactus look at me for a while then zip over to a old catclaw bush, then back to the cactus. She let me take a bunch of photos and was still checking me out when I left.; Equipment:
Canon - EOS Digital Rebel XTi (a.k.a. 400D) 10.1 Megapixel, SLR, Digital Camera Body (Black)
Canon - EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Telephoto Zoom; Created by: Bubbalinn.; Tools Used: Adobe Elements 2.0; Created on: June 2nd 2008; Image Views: 21; Average Views per Day: 0.2; Image Number: 48870; A large image is available of Chipmunk In Cactus.

Hi Alex, Thanks very much for your nice comment.. For focusing I set my camera to only focus on dead center in the viewfinder. So when it focuses on the chipmunk I quickly compose and shoot.

You caught a great shot of this little critter Alan,it looks like a tough spot to get a good focus there with all the needles and branches.

Hi Ann, Thanks again for your very nice comments. I'm glad you liked the sharpness and colors. It is a little tough to get nice colors with everything in the desert mostly brown.
