Soggy fox

Spent most of yesterday soaking wet and smelling of fox poo, but got a few reasonable shots for my effort. Pleased with the sharpness from my 70-300VR considering the conditions.

Nice shots, but a little over-saturated I think, especially the last.

You may be right, was processing them with the sun falling on my screen, may have to take another look once it gets dark

Exif should be embedded, I can view it using a firefox plugin.

D200, 70-300VR, ISO 200, shutter from 90th-250th, aperture from f5-6.7, focal lengths 165-300mm. Very small crops, if any.

Nice shots Tom, although a little radioactive with the saturation. Any full body shots? How did you get the shots, you use a hide?

Nah I'm a big fat cheat, these were taken at the British Wildlife Centre. Going to knock the saturation back on these a touch, will let you know when I do. Think I've got some wider shots somewhere,e let me dig through lightroom.

Right, pics reprocessed with the advantage of actually being able to see my screen

Saturation now as it came out the camera.

And some wider shots just for MK, seeing as he asked so politely

. First is best by a long way.

not to be sceptical but i feel some of the shots could be on the borderline of being blown out. taking the last 2 for example. The first of the last too the jaw and ears seem a little 'hot' where as you look at the last image and there is still plent of detail in the same areas.

Yeah you're right, they're not actually blown but they are close to it. The last 3 I just threw up for MK without spending any time on.
