Just had some fun yesterday looking for foxes

The first photo: hiding myself and first encounter with the fox
Second photo:she is getting closer
Third: overlooking the habitat

Very nice series, Candyman.
+1

Lovely colour too.
Thank you.
It was a sunny day. So now and then I waited for the cloud appear in front of the sun to get a different exposure.

This obviously isn't a wild animal, but I like the shot because I took it with the 50L at f/1.2 and a 6D. Doesn't really seem like a winning combination for this type of shot in AF Servo mode, but it actually did very well.

I'm beginning a month long comparison series between the 50L and the Otus 55. Should be fun!

Now Dustin, you are specifically not supposed to be able to use a 6D to take shots of small furry animals running towards you, especially at f/1.2 ! Please behave yourself.

I think it does show, however, that despite the 6D's AF being superficially similar to the 5DII it is in fact an improvement.

I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the 50L, especially how it compares with some of the fine old Takumars, the 50mm f/1.4 for instance, if you could manage that too.

I think that could be managed :)
