Description Meet Bob. Bob is a least chipmunk. Bob is smaller than the palm of my hand. Bob is terrified of people.

I chased him for 10 minutes. Finally, he found a flower to eat and held still. I only had one picture left, and I was so worried that Bob would run away. I took his picture, then inched closer and deleted it, so I could take a closer picture. The process continued until I could almost reach out and pat him on the head. A crowd gathered around me and they wanted a picture of Bob too. Too bad. He ran away before anybody else had a chance.

I have many more landscapes to post, but this remains my favorite pic of the entire trip because of the effort behind it. Thanks, Bob

Bob is so cuteeeee!!! Kinda reminds me of the hamster which is in my head!!! He's making his wheel turn on and on so fast!!!! The thing is, whenever I'm tired... the wheel start going faster than he is, and he fall... while the wheel continues turning...

Oh man! I ain't crazy... this is just somkind of a joke...

So, how did you get to know his name? But seriously, well done, I can imagine the effort and the caution you need to handle to get close to that little fella. Very well done, it's an amazing shot

It took a lot of patience indeed

I had a cousin of Bob come in to my room once. I had to capture the poor thingy and put him outside... I still have no idea how he got in in the first place...

But that Bob is pretty badass.

Only people without good lenses know the true art of sneaking around whenever shooting wild animals/insects... At least I know I am... my stealthy moves come in handy everytime I want to shoot something and most of the time works. yeah perseverence is the key.

I love the b&w approach on this one and the DOF is just wonderful. Great detail on his fur as well.
Cheers

Thanks I called him Bob, because that's his name. I said, "Mr. Chipmunk, what's your name." He replied, "Alexandraphillippousis, but you can just call me Bob "
