It was wet. It was windy. He was skittish. I was determined (to get a photo or two). <\/p>\n<p>The camera worked well. The viewfinder on the 7D is a vast improvement on the 40D, and with new batteries in the flash unit I was in business. It&#39;s not really an ideal test for the camera, but I was pleased with how the photos came out and the hit rate was slightly above normal (but I may have been taking more care). The colours appear richer (though the weather may account for that).   <br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/fox_young_male_0602110842.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/fox_young_male_0602110843.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/fox_young_male_0602110859.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/fox_young_male_0602110877.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/fox_young_male_0602110879.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>While still on foxes, I included a very brief clip of some video a <a href=\"http:\/\/my.opera.com\/Words\/blog\/2011\/02\/03\/sunshine-in-the-park\" target=\"_blank\">few nights ago<\/a>, and foolishly said I&#39;d edit the rest of it.

The quality isn&#39;t great, and the first half (approximately) was taken through a window.<\/p>\n<div class=\"reactr-oembed-wrap clr\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Night Fox\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_uINjiqNcgk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>No foxes tonight, but I spent some more time around the pond. The newts are now very active, and numerous. Now with these I definitely achieved an improved hit rate. The image quality improves significantly the nearer the surface the newts are (which is to be expected) and I may need to reduce the amount of flash, but estimating settings when photographing through the surface of the water is never straightforward. I&#39;m pleased with these though.<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/newt_0602110946.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/newt_0602110892.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/newt_0602110904.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/newt_0602110913.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/newt_0602110947.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>Finally, a word of thanks to whoever added the <a href=\"http:\/\/my.opera.com\/Words\/blog\/2011\/02\/04\/smew-garganey-teal-goldeneye-mandarin\" target=\"_blank\">Smew post<\/a> to Stumbleupon!
