Fox Trot

This is a Democratic Red Fox(Vuples Democratis) looking for a handout at dusk to take back to her crack den.

To shoot these photos, I panned with the fox as she was trotting in low light. It's not an easy shot to get, but if it works right, the effect is that everything is blurred out except for the fox, making the subject stand out from the background. The Canon L-Series EF 100-400mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM lens has a special setting for this shot, so the Image Stabilization only functions along the vertical axis, allowing the image to blur along the horizontal axis.

Johnny, the big deer, is living in some government-subsidized housing in the woods behind my house these days. I didn't take any shots of him tonight, however, as it was cold and dark by the time I returned from the farm.
