Karl was in the Cairngorms, Scotland, with a friend who took him to a forest where red squirrels were used to being fed.

They placed hazelnuts on opposite branches of two trees and Karl then positioned his camera on a tripod between the branches facing the direction a squirrel might jump.

Setting his camera to automatic focus, he waited in camouflage gear behind a tree, holding a remote control.

After less than an hour, two squirrels appeared. As they leapt between the branches, he used the high-speed burst mode on his camera, and of the 150 frames, four were sharp, and this one perfectly captured the moment.
