enricosavazzi Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 The squirrels in Central Park are practically tame. Stick out a hand at them and they come to beg for food. This explains how I could take a picture with a 19 mm lens. However, they keep flitting around. I missed a few good details of a squirrel's face peeping at close range into the lens because AF was not fast enough to follow the squirrel's nose. Link to comment
