That more or less put paid to any trips out. It was so overcast that by lunchtime I had yet to pick up the camera. The rain had just eased off to the finest drizzle by lunchtime, when I looked out of the back window and saw this:<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/fox_dog_2605080256.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>It&#39;s unusual to see him approach from the rear of the garden, so I wonder whether he&#39;d been sheltering away from his home ground through the night. The rain was heavy from the early hours until mid-morning. He was looking somewhat bedraggled, but otherwise fine. But it allowed me the luxury of taking some daytime shots (it seems so long since I&#39;ve had the chance for that), and even then the overcast sky forced me to shoot at ISO 800 and with a wide open aperture. But daytime is daytime.<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/fox_dog_2605080265.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>And being light, I had a chance to check out something that has been bugging me slightly ever since it was mentioned by Vulpes a few weeks ago: has he lost a front lower canine? Over the past weeks I&#39;ve been checking photos and the evidence has been inconsistent. Today though the evidence was clear. His front left lower canine has broken off. Part of the tooth is still there, and clearly he is quite unworried by the loss. You can see it in this shot.<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/fox_dog_2605080267.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/fox_dog_tooth_2605080267.jpg' \/><\/span> <span class=\"aligncenter\">And cropped closer<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The other great thing about daylight is that I can shoot video. I risked going back inside to grab the old Canon S2 camera (and for once I have actually been checking that it has working batteries in it). I got a couple of minutes usable footage (not easy shooting video with a camera in one hand and taking stills with a camera in the other!). <br \/><span class=\"aligncenter\"><br \/><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/fox\/movie\/fox_rain_260508_lofi.wmv\" width=\"320\" height=\"310\" autostart=\"0\" showcontrols=\"1\" type=\"application\/x-mplayer2\" ShowStatusBar=\"1\" pluginspage=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/windows\/windowsmedia\/download\/\" allowscriptaccess=\"never\" \/>  <\/span><br \/><span class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/uk.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ae-8qCV0vmM#GU5U2spHI_4\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube link<\/a> \/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/fox\/movie\/fox_rain_260508.html\" target=\"_blank\">High Quality link<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>Camera note: all stills taken with the EF70-300mm 4.5-5.6 DO IS lens.
