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.

    Technology is pretty amazing. To capture shots like this at that time of the night is pretty impressive. Take care.

      I love to see the animals in my garden and photograph them. My neighbours love to know about them and I have their full support. Take care.

    Hi Mike
    there is definitely trust between you, and that's what it takes, the foxes don't run away and behave normally
    Greetings Frank

About Me

My photo
Evacuated during the second world war to a village in Yorkshire where I lived in the home of a good photographer for more than five years who taught me the basics and a great deal about nature. Well past retirement age I have been a wildlife photographer for more than 30 years. Red Kites have been my speciality for much of this period. I did spend several years snapping wheelchair athletes and organizing the British Road Race Championship. In the year 2000 I was awarded a distinction by the Royal Photographic Society for my portfolio on wheelchair athletes. Most of my pics are digital, using Sony cameras and Sigma lenses. I used to spend many weeks each year with friends in Wales which is close to the Elan Valleys where I got many of my raptor pics. I now get these pictures more closely to home, specially red kites and peregrines. I support my pension by selling my pics, cards, coasters, fridge magnets and key rings etc. at craft fairs, something I wish I had done much earlier in life. I give illustrated talks to clubs and societies on wildlife and other branches of photography that I have been involved in.
