There are so many aspects of wildlife photography that depend solely on the amount of time that a photographer is able to spend in the field. The old adage of ‘the harder I work I luckier I get’ perfectly sums up the benefits of committing oneself to long term projects and I of course understand that this is a luxury that not everyone can afford. Sometimes however photographers can get lucky very, very quickly but this tends to be the exception rather than the rule and with all of my long term projects the quality of my images has always improved the longer the project goes on. This fox image perfectly sums up the benefits of me being able to spend 7 weeks, working every day, with my furry friends. Of course on a great many days they wouldn’t show up, or they’d be too distant or partially concealed in the long grass. I’d watch them play-fighting but they’d usually be obscured behind a small bank or hidden in the forest margins but this frustration is all part of the process of watching, learning, refining and adapting. Sooner or later I hoped that I’d get a bit of luck and this image is from one such lucky sequence. I’d seen this young male growing increasingly curious about my hide and on one of the last occasions that I saw him he started to approach the hide from an unusual angle. As he approached I could see that the background was really complimentary and his increasing wariness, his innate foxiness meant that he kept pausing. Fortunately he was always did so in the clear and always paused just long enough for me to take a few images. Closer and closer he came, pause and pose, pause and pose, look left, look right and all the time looking like he was in the most fantastic condition. And so it all comes back to that old adage again. I was able to invest the time, I stayed committed through all weathers and in the end I just got lucky!
