Tired red fox... I snuck up to him from about 70 Yards... I got to within 20 ft. of him, and snapped some pics.
Thoughts?

Why doesn't this site post both of my pics?

The face in this one is blurry... too bad!

Even if they are not really sharp, they are still nice shots. Do you manually use the center focus point on your camera, and put it on the eyes of your subject?

To be honest with you, I'm so "Green" I just look at what I see, and capture it how I think it will look best.:oops:

Should I do that?

I'm green too and that's pretty much what I do! Like the shots, too. Yes, the second one is blurry - shutter speed just too slow to eliminate shake. But nicely framed - interesting rhythm with the red branch (dogwood?). Really like the first shot - great focus, lovely textures and colours - you hardly notice the OOF obstacles on either edge.

I tried to snap our familiar local fox in our garden here today - once I've read the FAQ I'll try to post!

Thanks!

Nick

OK, here goes: I came into our kitchen today to have some lunch and through the large glass pane of our back door, I saw our familiar fox (sleeps here most days) resting on the grass against the edge of our terrace. I went back upstairs and got a camera - only, dimwittedly, I grabbed my 5DII. I hung back from the door but, as the second picture shows, the loud shutter noise alerted the fox, even through the pretty thick door. Often, the light difference between indoors and out hides us watchers inside - but this time, I was spotted. Pah - should have taken the LC1... Also, didn't get either shot really sharp - but I was using manual focus, though a double pane of toughened glass. By the way, these are the first shots I have ever exported from LR. Until today, I had no idea how to do it. Upped the exposure a bit, cropped (massively - I was standing well back), applied 'standard' sharpening on export. Blimey, I've a lot to learn!

The trouble is, the camera gets to decide what your focal point will be. It's better to decide yourself.

You mean that the foxes love you.

That's very kind, thank you very much! Just wish I hadn't made that shutter noise...
