The Climber
I started to put some puppy food on top of the tree stump to get the fox cubs to smell the air and look up-well one of the has sussed it and now climbs up on top of the stump straight away and get a snack away from the other 2, This has meant that i have had to move my set up back so i can get him all in-one from last night

Canon 1D3 500F4

Cracking! Getting a great series of fox cubs here Dave. Over the past couple of weeks you can already tell they are losing there 'teddy bear' appearance. Keep em coming! What shutter speed are you getting here? :toast: :toast: :toast:

Hi Dave,

Awesome image! Another cracking part of the series! Great if we could see them mature further!

Shutter speeds anywhere between 1/50 and 1/200(F5.6), I shoot after 6pm as the earth is on a slope and the sun has gone there at this time but is still bright(ish) so no contrasty light, I have just come back from another session-1.5hrs and 136 images-great stuff

Thanks for looking and your encouraging comments

Was going to say that this particular shot may have suited a wide angle/large dof type shot Dave, but suspect the conditions/situation/logistics etc would rule that out.

Still a cracking shot, retaining the extremely high standard of the series :toast: :toast: :toast:
