M50, efm 18-150mm ƒ6.3, ss 1/250, iso (auto) 250 +2/3 After the heavy rain we had the previous night i went back to the park next to the cemetery to see if the water was still up so i could get a few smudges of it, unfortunately the level was down to normal where it had been knee deep so i went to the cemetery to see if the foxes were about, i had intended to just have a quick look then go home. i only had my efm 18-150mm so i wasn't expecting any great fox pics. I did my usual thing of getting couple of shots from a distance then went closer, mostly they just take notice of me and keep their distance, if i'm with my gf they just run off. so i called out to the fox to let it know i was there so it wouldn't think i was trying to stalk it and it paid me a curious look and kept an ey on me, i went to a near by flat stone which was cleanest as i was wearing a beige skirt and dint fancy sitting on a manky rock. i then took a few images and it just watched me, it then got up, (the fox not the rock) and wandered about and i thought thats it its going to find somewhere else to lay, to my surprise it came within a few feet and lay down on a grave two over. we had a lovely chat and it wasn't phased by the mechanical shutter sound at all.
Nice looking animal, Caladina, it is in any wild animal's instinct o be wary of groups of humans, yes two is a group. The reason you can interact with fox is you are more purposeful in your movements and this allows you to interact with your subject, as such getting some lovely shots. If you keep this up, you will have to take him home to live with you, it will be a nice surprise for your girlfriend but your cats may not like it.
i got this one as a better jaw extension but there was a grass bud in the image so i posted the other
Except for the bud, an excellent shot, maybe photoshop would help. Just a thought, if you ever decide to give him a new home, opening his jaw that wide would make it easy to clean his teeth.
