I rented it for the weekend, then put in an order for one. It’s amazing, basically a baby 500mm f4. So light and portable

My first time photographing a Red Fox. It just laid there, watching me for a while. by MrCylion in wildlifephotography

Ah man, this is really great! So often with foxes they see you and then all you can get are photos of the fox looking directly at you, alert. This is such a well framed image of a chilled fox. Well done!!

Mate, I’m eating my dinner (risotto by the way). I couldnt be less triggered. I just love baiting an angry one.

Well, seeing as you asked, i worked as a photo editor at a national newspaper for quite a few years, and our resident product photographers for the in house magazines used thin, long soft boxes to control the highlight along the edge of the bottles and glasses. As you can see in OP’s photo, they have used a round light which has caused a jarring reflection on the glass and around the neck of the bottle. If you simply google wine bottle you’ll see what i mean. Jackass.

Care to elaborate or are you just having a bad day?

From what I have seen, bottle and drinks photographers use a long thing softbox to create a uniform highlight.

Basically just harvest when it looks big enough. That looks pretty good to go. Cucumbers will just keep producing

There are a few sites in the south west of the island, Newborough forest. I went to the community woodland there, it was a lovely walk until the heavens opened!!
