"A
lot of time and effort!"
听
We are delighted to feature some of the amazing photographs
by local photographer Vincent, that were taken in and around
Northern Ireland.
听
Especially impressive are the photos of the badger and
fox. Vincent told us how he went about getting such great
pictures:
听
"The shots were taken about 2 years ago and took a
lot of time and effort. I used the flowers and logs to build
'sets' and used a remote camera and flashes."
听
It is rare to see either a badger or a fox, but to spot
them together is especially fortunate. Vincent said:
听
"The shot of the fox was by luck. I had the camera
set up with the intention of photographing the badger. I
baited the ground with peanuts and raisins and waited."
听
He said: "The fox is rural and very elusive, and only
comes when it is very dark. As I waited the badger appeared
as usual, but at that moment the fox appeared too and faced
the badger head on! The badger backed off and when I took
the photo the noise made him turn to face the camera. The
flashes went off and he took off in rather a hurry."
听
It took a lot of time and effort for Vincent to get these
pictures, but often all it takes is to be in the right place
at the right time.
听
Maybe bring a camera outdoors with you next time you go
for a walk and see what pictures you can take.
