Don't think I've uploaded this one to here before. Some local wild Badgers shot a couple of years ago who had a housing estate built around them after making their home in the earth banking surrounding a warhead store.
Handheld in the end with a 100mm 2.8 macro lens, two remote flashguns on tripods either side and trigged using an ST-E2. 1/60s, f/5.6 and 100mm taken lying in the grass getting bitten to death by mossies, but I felt it was worth it. Also had to use One Shot mode as the ST-E2 only fires a focus assist infra red beam in that mode. Too dark for the camera (EOS 20D) to focus without.
Would like to go back and re-visit these guys soon. They were tremendous fun.
Good one. Nice lighting.
They can be a pain to get to "head up "
I had to have my son clap to get mine to do it. Where food is concerned they are no better than vacuum cleaners !!
