Day 3 - College of Woodchucks
Some may call it a six-pack. However, the correct term for a group of Woodchuck is College. This middle of the night hunting trip went well as I managed to take down all six of them and am currently working on skinning each one. It's a tough job, but it takes tough people to step up and do the necessary hard work.

so what's the bag limit on those suckers?
Since I live in Utah, I'm not even sure they are legally here in the state - undocumented woodchucks.
Love this one i must try this type of lighting later in the year
Nothing hard in this shot.
Found grape vine tendril.
Went out at night with a flashlight, camera, and flash.
Used the flashlight to have enough light to auto focus.
Turned down the flash intensity very low.
Backed up to increase depth of field as I'm shooting at night and didn't want to do a long exposure (it's winter and cold) at a tighter aperture for the increased depth of field.
Used a paint brush in post to cut the tendril from the rest.
Painted/cropped out the rest of the tendril and vine to get just what I needed.
Here is the untouched original.

Love the grape vine. I'm thankful of the info on how you did it otherwise it would have annoyed me trying to replicate it!
I don't even like babies, really, I don't. Nor do I like shooting people. However, my portfolio of people of various ages keeps growing.
Thanks for the compliment.

My experience with removing a College of Woodchucks is that I've always regretted it the next day. Much as after discarding an Abbey of Champagnes.
Day 5 - A Great Day
Today, my wife braved the cold (sometimes single digit) to go out and shoot with me. Her pictures are improving and she is starting to figure out her way around her camera. Couldn't ask for a better day than one spent with my best friend shooting buffalo.
