This is the same set up as my previous badger wide angle post but this is taken at the 70mm end of the zoom.

Hello Matt, lighting on this is exactly the same as the previous post.
John, I wish I too could start again with this set up. Unfortunately this was at my previous home and after coming to the garden regularly for a long time this badger suddenly dissapeared about a month before we left. We suspect a road accident, though we never saw a body. As the old saying goes, 'you never know what you've got until it's gone'. I didn't really fully appreciate just what I could have done and therefore I have a limited selection of images. If I were you I'd do as much as you can while you can.

very nice, the detail is wonderful here and the flash is done very well
I really like this one Robert and is probably the one I prefer most from your recent series.

I definitely prefer this one to the last. the badgers face is visible in this one and moving in closer has made it look a lot less like a set. Very nice indeed and what you say about making the most of your chances is so true. Eric

Very nice Robert
I'd crop a bit from the right just to loose that hard shadow on the log - nice one
