Last year I was encouraged by a fellow photographer to try and use a wide-angle lens to shoot wildlife. This means you need to get very VERY close to the wildlife to get that interesting distortion that can happen. Most of the time this is achieved by using a trail camera however I thought I would give it a try …
Welcome back to the Sunday Edition. This week I’m sharing a few images I shot of a fox hunting on a frozen lake. I was out birding and spotted this red fox hunting along the shoreline in the cattails. The light and shadows at play across the ice made me think of wildlife paintings. I am always amazed at the …
As many of you know we’ve had a pretty cold January this year. In Yellowknife, temperatures were generally between -35º and -42º C before counting the windchill. Let me tell you this does absolutely nothing to encourage me to get outside. I did venture out a few times to check in on the foxes I hang out with. They were …
If you follow me on Instagram (@wildknifephoto) then you know that we spent the month of #Foxtober enjoying one of my favourite critters the red fox. I have literally thousands of images of foxes in my library and sometimes I forget that I have only shared a fraction of them! Foxes share many characteristics with cats. Their eyes have the …
I warned you about all the fox photos, a couple of weeks ago, remember? These young foxes are out putting their hunting skills to the test. While out sketching birds at Willow flats these two curious foxes came over to see what I was up to. Curious as cats they are! These two were not afraid to come right over …
Welcome back to the Sunday Edition. You knew that sooner or later the fox pics were going to return. Well, you were right, here they are. I haven’t had much opportunity to get out and check on the little family but a couple of weeks ago I stopped in to see if anyone was still around. I was thrilled to …
Foxes are such delightful animals to photograph. Each has its own personality. There are some that are very shy and others who would be happy to come right up to your camera to get a better idea of what you are doing. Foxes have a natural curiosity much like a cat thought I’m not sure if they have as …
The days are finally getting longer again which means more daylight hours to hang out with the fox family. Spring fever has already started in spite of the cold temperatures. Foxes are marking their favourite spots in the hopes of leaving an in-scent-ive for a new mate. Some foxes are more interested in the dating game than others. Many are …
Welcome my friends. Thank you for your patience with me while I get organized for 2019. I’ve had a bit of a rocky start so I thought we would ease into the year by reviewing some of my favourite photos of 2018, in two parts. January and February of 2018 were incredible for wildlife photography. The fox family that I’ve …
I’m going to enjoy the last few days of winter holidays before the looooong stretch to spring break. here’s hoping that my fox pals will have time to hang out the next couple of months.
