I love shooting red foxes in the snow — their fur really pops against the white background, and fresh blanket of snow can simplify an otherwise bushy/busy background. Here are a couple of particularly good images from a recent trip to my fox spot. Remarkably, the fox above spent at least ten minutes laying in the snow watching me take his photograph.
This is my favorite fox composition – fox running toward the camera, seemingly intend on taking a bite out of the photographer.
I like the colorful, sunlit background on this image.
If this image wasn’t backlit it would be perfect. I wind up with more backlit fox images than I would expect, mostly because the foxes are reluctant to look toward the bring sun.
Finally, a mean looking fox.
