There's always some joker that has to go and spoil a good family photo. Grin

I love the fact that the camera focused on the little guy, too, instead of the humans.

If I had taken the picture with my DSLR, you know the squirrel would've most likely been outside the DOF and the shot wouldn't be half as good as this one is. Shocked

Hmmmmmmmmmm I dunno, would be awfully easy to fake. Great idea though!

Yep...there's something to be said for that AUTO setting. Wink

Great image! But I am curious, which camera focuses after you pressed the timer??

I was thinking exactly the same thing. I must get one of those _ photographing yourself would be so much easier!

I can't help thinking that the comp with our furry friend is surprisingly perfect too with the couple's faces not obscured and just nicely out of focus. If I'd been setting that shot up with a stuffed animal I don't think I could have done much better. Take out the squirrel though and the comp is lousy. Hmm.

Looks like the reviewers do not read these stories, it just got rejected for "Focus not being where we expected it to be!"

Most Nikon DSLR's (D70 and D300 for sure) have a setting for Continuous AutoFocus or "Continuous-servo AF " that would focus after the self-timer expired - if the focus changed.

But doesn't servo try to lock focus on where it was before, guessing it's new position?

^^^ That's true __ AF servo is meant to lock-on and then follow the same object (at least the Canon does).
