Some Fox Photos From This Weekend

Deeger · Jun 9, 2013

We have located two dens now, going to try and spend more time out there this week.

Here are a few, let me know what you think of the captures and of the edits..

1. 'Protection' - Mother fox sits outside the den.

2. 'Concerned' - Mother fox staring me down after she noticed me.

3. Kit checking me out.

4. 'No Fright' - Kit fox relieves herself while looking at me!

That's awesome that you have found these; just be careful and mind the distance you allow between you and them. Don't want to get "ravaged by the wolves"...or the foxes, either. :lol:

I love everything about the first shot, except that it seems underexposed. Lovely composition, though.
The third one, of the kit, seems just a bit soft (though you should NEVER ever take MY word for focus issues, lol) and it's a shame its feet and tail end are cut off. With animals, sometimes you just have to take what you can get, but if at all possible, I try to practice the same guidelines as for people portraits--if you cut off limbs, make it look like it was on purpose, not accidental.

The last one...well...that's just FUNNY. :lmao:

Thank you. Yes I am very careful, and respectful. And blessed. Lol. I can't wait to go back, looks like it will be in a few weeks as I have an event and wedding coming up to shoot. Will be interesting to see how much they've grown.
