Hello, this is not the real flying squirrel speecie :

http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/caer/ce/eek/critter/mammal/flysquirrel.htm

it is the Eastern Gray Squirrel for whom i gived this title,
and i got this shot accidentally, this squirrel was on a
acrobatic pose when i decided to shoot him in photo,
but suddenly he decide to go higher on the tree by flying,
at that moment i said to myself « fast fast click the camera »
and i got this image shot in RAW format and in ISO 400

« The eastern grey squirrel spends most of its life in trees,
where it moves about with great agility. »

Cool capture Asbed,
You froze the action very well, nice DOF/details.
One can just see the nose & mouth, and the rt leg reaching onto the branch :)
Great catch!
Howard

You really are getting better at this...I mean seriously now...catching a bird in flight is one thing but this? this is amazing...How totally cool you were pushing that shutter release just at the right time...GREAT!

Hi Asbed,

What a great and unusual pov. You must have been right under the tree. You froze the action perfectly. Excellent details and good natural colors against the deep blue sky. He really is flying.

Hi Asbed,

Very nice action photo. Usually these end up being so much blurred from all the wrong points that they can't be used. This is very sharp and shows well all the details of strech.

Hello Asbed,
An excellent action shot of an Eastern Grey Squirrel moving through the bare tree.
The high shutterspeed has really brought out the action of the stretching body with good sharpness.
Thanks for sharing this one,
Ivan

Bonjour Asbed,

Eh bien celui-ci, tu l'as vraiment attrapé au vol!
Très bon timing et encore une fois tu as des yeux de chasseurs pour voir tous ces animaux bouger entre les branches!
