Barb and I continued our hunt for the beaver family last weekend, unsuccessfully. Finding these critters has now become an official obsession with us! We searched for dams, ponds, and downed trees. However, I did find access to a portion of the creek I didn't even know existed. On with the hunt next weekend!

Not only are you hunting for the beavers, you are also hunting for the perfect natural back light. With today's and yesterday's post we can say that this hunt has been very successful...

@vu@granby: Well thanks! You know my wife and I have had a marvelous time together hunting for the beavers. I think the key to success is all in putting forth the effort!
beautiful lighting.... hope you find them

The light and framing is just excellent Craig!! So simple and so incredibly beautiful

P.S.: Effort is important if you want to see beavers, but timing also. It has to be almost dark and very quiet. If you bring your dogs along your chances are very low...

Beautiful.... the DOF is really good here. Wish you can find your beaver friends soon, and if you do, please post many many pictures of them ^^

The lighting of these pretty spring flowers, is just beautiful. An awesome shot Craig.

Out of the park with this one Craig!! That light is incredible!! And you've captured it brilliantly. Love the comp and the dof.
You know, when we still had the beaver down by the creek before the flood took them out, I could catch him feeding mid-morning and late afternoon. So I think it's just a matter of finding his lodge first. I'm not sure how easy it is in California but up here ya can't miss the suckers(the lodge that is). They're HUGE. Keep looking, I'm anxious to see them.

I just had to come back for a second look (my monitor has had colour trouble, fixed now :) ) Now I can actually see it in all it's glory. Wow!

Beautiful. I love the way you set up the composition.

Excellent light, well captured!

The lighting and simplicity is wonderful; and the touch of spider's web on the side is an amazingly well-placed connection.

Good luck on your hunt... the light here is superb!
