Red fox
started photographing the foxes again now that it's winter, doing more out front in the street without flash this time, hard to get sharp shots though of course

40D + kit lens
ISO 640
Full frame

Difficult to judge the sharpness... but this looks to be (IMO) a superb image of an urban fox, I would just remove the two highlights that are in the skyline... Gordon Buchanon comes to mind... I am looking forward to more of these....

Hi Jack,

I like small in frame but here it took me a little while to actually find the subject.

This kind of project has bags of potential though so I'd be interested to see more as and when they develop.

Have you tried a remote set up?

Hi Jack,

Really like this, How close are you able to get to them? Would love to photograph these as well.

this close Chris :biggrin:

Thanks for the comments all,

Chris - have done quite a few remote set ups mostly last year though when i was doing them in the garden, have done a few this year out on the street but the foxes don't seem so interested in the food and of course i can't be too remote or someone will just walk off with the camera

Now I'm really jealous! :biggrin:

Be interesting to see what Garden/Household items you can incorporate the fox with. I remember an Image by Chris Packham I think where he had the camera hidden inside the dustbin and showed the fox rummaging about in the rubbish.

Yea, you need a good heavy chain and padlock!
