Badger Cub
Eurasian Badger (Meles meles) – Essex.

Nikon D3, 200-400/f4 + 1.4x, Gitzo .
Manual exposure mode f6.3 ;1/400, iso 3200.
RAW image processed in Capture One; sharpened in Photoshop CS5; noise reduction using Noiseware Professional Imagenomic; full frame.

Another badger cub shot from back in the summer. It seems a long time ago now.

Fantastic detail and lovely pose, going to have to get a 200-400 the quality of images from them is superb especially with the 1.4 :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:

Looks cock on to me Phil. I love the pose, it makes an interesting change from the usual bumbling around on the ground that we usually see.

BG really throws the badger out well, with some great detail in the coat. Was this shot with DC, did he entice you to the dark side? :biggrin:

What I wouldn't give to get an image of a badger in good light and such a striking pose!

Really wonderful shot, well taken. :toast: :toast: :toast:
