As I mentioned on the mammal of the day thread yesterday I`ve started baiting an area for Foxes, to hopefully get some decent shots. Unfortunately the area is in a very dark bit of woodland, so using flash will be preferable most of the time.
All of my
Fox pics have been taken in good light, so i`ve not had any experience of using flash with them.I know
Badgers are by and large not bothered by flashes going but i`m unsure how Foxes will react...I`m going to be shooting them hopefully early mornings,after sunrise, so not in total darkness.
If anyone with any experience of flash photography with Foxes could offer any info/advice i`d be most grateful.
Ideally i`d like to set up slave flashes near to the baited area for better lighting, but if this would prove too risky a camera mounted flash would do...failing that I may have to draw them into a better lit spot by gradually moving the bait, or videoing them instead...
