A slight change of pace tonight which means two videos. The first is the 'standard' trail cam footage, but is a nice sequence of a young cub suckling. The second clip was filmed yesterday and is probably the most accurate representation of what I generally can see when I'm photographing the foxes. Lighting is a hand-held Maglite two-cell torch. The camera is also hand-held, which makes changes focus (or making any adjustments to the camera) somewhat tricky!
And to close, another fox cub photo. I'll ring the changes tomorrow when I've had time to sort through some of today's photos taken in Brighton.
Camera note: photo and colour video taken with the Canon 7D and EF 24-105 F4L IS USM lens.

6 May 2013Interesting vids, Words … the first is amusing because no matter how or where she moves, he sticks to her like glue. And the second … well, I don't think I've seen anything like it before.

6 May 2013Foxcub by torchlight – that's come out well. When I've been photographing the badgers and fox here, I use a spotlight rather than the flash from the camera itself.

11 May 2013dW, the cubs feeding sequences are a real bonus this year. I've more footage which I'll sort out over the weekend. I'm working on the colour video as you've probably discovered by now.

11 May 2013Adele, the torchlight technique is tricky as it leaves no hands free to control the camera. It was reading your comment that persuaded me to get a camera-mounted video light which has certainly helped.

11 May 2013Darko, that's the trick. If they are eating they really don;t mind too much about anything else. 🙂
