Across the pond
Thought i would touch base with my English chums and let you know whats going on over here,Winter has been a long one as it has been in Europe but thats helped getting animals and birds to the feeders, I have Opossum and Grey Fox around the garden at night and have a set up for the opossums-Purely nocturnal so abit like badger photography, I took this last night, I set the log up and lit it with 4 flashguns and shot from a hide in the garden, I guess this is our equivalent of the hedgehog although these are good climbers

D3 200-400 3XSB600 1XSB900 triggered by an SU800 hide

Hope you are all well

Looks a little surprised DC, good to se something different :wink: Hopefully things will be easier to photograph now it's in the back yard, unlike the badgers :toast: Grey fox next?

All the best.

Hi Dave

It's really nice to see different subjects like these,especially ones that are as well executed. I'd probably square it up a bit by taking some of the rhs but otherwise it is a very nice, and comical image

Cheers from ol' Blighty

Agree about the crop but a very nice shot. Cute looking creature. Definitely more interesting than a hedgehog :biggrin:

Lovely shot. It's good to see something different, although a hedgehog is also nice to see.
I alos like to see the Fox pictures.

Id crop a bit off the rhs but otherwise a lovely shot. Don't know why you went to America for these though ... John R has probably got them in his garden :biggrin:
