The photographer used a bait and ambush and used wild squirrels as models. The photos he took are hilarious. What do you think?

Will you laugh out loud after seeing this set of photos of squirrels lifting weights? I believe many people will. Some people soon said that this group of photos was staged, but many people questioned whether the timid squirrel would listen to the photographer so much? So do you know how this set of photos was taken?

It is reported that the photographer who took this group of photos is from Sweden, his name is Geert Weggen, and the shooting location was in the forest near his home. The subject was an ordinary wild squirrel in the forest, and the nuts were collected and prepared by Geert Weggen for the purpose of making bait.

So how did the photographer get the squirrel to cooperate? It is understood that Geert Weggen, who is good at observation, often takes pictures in the forest near his home. He discovered that a squirrel came to the garden every day to look for food. So he had a sudden idea and designed a scene to let the squirrel act as a model.

So, Geert Weggen found some nuts, made them into the shape of weightlifting barbells, and put them in the garden. Then Geert Weggen set up an ambush in advance, set up his camera, waited for the squirrel to fall into the trap, and then captured it.

Unexpectedly, this squirrel really came. It was probably very happy after seeing so many nuts. It wanted to move these nuts to its nest and share them slowly. Maybe the nuts were too heavy to carry. It was very difficult to get up. All this process was secretly recorded by Geert Weggen.

I believe that many people have watched the documentary "Animal World" that was popular all over the world in the early years. Many animals were filmed in this way. Photographers secretly put down photographic equipment near the animal's nest to shoot remotely, dig a cave where the animal appears, or set up a tent, cover it with grass, and then ambush themselves. It can be seen that this kind of photography is quite laborious and laborious. And the worst part is, I often stay there for several days without seeing any sign of the animal.
