Local Residents

Back Yard

Dry weather and living on a raccoon by-way has led to the capture of this family of three.
Set up the camera on tripod in the evening, adjusted settings, including flash and MANUAL focus.
Focus was on the green garbage can lid that was filled with water. Remote shutter used and stayed up
most of the night. Note the little one sitting on it's bum under the bird bath table. This was the
6th shot out and the flash only got to them after 12 shots and they were done washing their hands.
Hoping the water may keep them away from the pond.

Canon EOS 40D ,Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS
1/250s f/4.0 at 22.0mm iso400 tripod, flash, remote shutter full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Congratulations on capturing a "caught in the act" moment. Was this your way of having them "come clean"?
