This Syrian Hamster was a pet of mine a few years back. Her name was Ginger and she lived about a year and a half. I took this photo not long after I had fixed up my Canon AE-1P... I still didn't have a macro lens and I was using a desk lamp to light this. I got lucky and captured this shot... I think it looks like a real portrait and if you have ever tried photographing rodents at close range you know how hard it can be.

This is one of my peronal favorites. I hope you enjoy it too...

(edit) - This was exhibited at the 2007 Orange County Fair in Costa Mesa, Ca.

I personally love this picture, the little hamster looks like it's got a spunky personality, and it's seemilbgly posing perfectly. I like how we see the hamster and ball and wood chip things very close up, and as you go back, you see the rest of the hamster's cage toys and food bowl, ect. It gives the picture a feeling of depth. Overall, it's a wonderful piece, definatley a fav!

I thank you much. Glad you noticed all the little things.
Ferrets sound fun but they are illegal in California for dumb reasons. I had 2 dwarf hamsters but they recently passed on. I now dedicate myself to my rabbit, pug, and cat.

Thanks for the comment.
oh, i've heard of that yes. I didn't check to see if you were from Cali, but it's such a beautiful state - so it balances out :)
thank you. it was all luck :D
A very fine hamster portrait!!
