I took a lot of photos of rats today at Falmer Pond… so many that I’ve barely scratched the surface in sorting them out. Here’s a few of them (processed in Lightroom 5.7, released today and able to handle the 7D Mark II files). At last!
ps: I took a tiny bit of video as well. I’ll get that up in a day or so 😉
Camera note: all photos taken with the Canon 7D Mark II and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens.
No sightings of the badger yet tonight, so instead here are some photos of the local rats, taken this morning at Falmer Pond. It was pretty gloomy, and for the technically inclined the first shot was taken at a modest ISO 1600; the rest were all at ISO 3,200. They are more or less straight from the camera (just a little bit of brightening on a couple of them, and minor sharpening for the web).
Cautious approach…

Out to explore…

Torrential rain this morning. Really not very good for taking photos and these were all shot from the shelter of the car. And of course it was pretty dark too, but the cormorants didn’t seem to mind.

Later in the day the sun finally emerged.

And so did a rat 😉
Things look just a little brighter for next week.
