Foxes keeping me busy

I think that I have reached the limit of my experimenting. These three pictires were all taken between 2200hrs and midnight on different nights. There is of course the help of a street lamp but still would be impossible without the settings I have on my camera.

This is mum collecting food for her offspring. I have seen one but it was too quick for my camera. You can't get a picture of a speedy animal at 1/5sec. Its just a blur.

This is a new kid on the block. One that I havn't seen before.
 

Still keeping track

Still keeping track of the foxes in my garden but nothing seems to be happening yet. Coming in at about 2200hrs every evening collecting mouthfuls of bicuits to feed the youngsters with.

One cub came in once but it was quickly ushered away before I had chance to get a picture. Better luck next time.
 

Foxes in the dark

I am begining to master my camera in different ways during darkness.  This one was taken on my normal night set up. This is fine as long as the subject is perfectly still.

This one was taken in moonlight with the help of a nearby street lamp. I revert to mono when it is as dark as this. Again the subject must be perfectly still. Shutter speed is 1/25th of a second at an ISO of 25600 on a 350mm 2.8 lens. and taken through my bedroom window. There, given all my secrets away.
