I didn't have no steenkin' raisins. . . ! :-) I'll keep them in mind the next time I go to Glacier National Park. . . http://users.2alpha.com/~pklein/montana/2-14Chip.htm This little fellow showed up a few seconds after I put down my bag. I only had a 35mm lens on the camera, but a guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do. I barely had time to throw the lens open and not quite focus. I could have used a longer lens, and a few raisins with which to stick the ground squirrel to my hat. Those critters are *fast*!! Now that I have Focus Magic, I'll have to try it on the original scan. --Peter Ted wrote: Re. http://gallery2.leica-users.org/v/leicated/chipmunk+assistant+.jpg.html >> Hoppy, >> Like I said it's tough getting good help so the Chipmunk was helping by releasing the shutter when I threw him a raisin. ;-) Well OK there were raisins involved. ;-) <snip> >> 4/ Take two cameras and bait them with raisins stuck around the view finder, or in the hot shoe, between shutter speed dial and prism, at the back right by the eye piece wherever you can get them up to the camera. You only need a few in strategic locations.
