Description To purchase this image as an exclusive limited edition print please visit my website @ WWW.NATEZEMAN.COM

The red fox is perfectly adapted to living in the harshest of conditions. A subzero night time snowstorm doesn't stop this one from getting in a few winks.


This is probably the only nature photo I've taken that used something other than natural light. I'm not sure if it works or not but i thought it was interesting enough to post. Lemme know what you think!

Red Fox - Breckenridge, Colorado

I think it's great.
The lighting is fine : ]
How on earth did you get such a perfect picture of a sleeping fox, without scaring it off?
Super mega zoom-in?

You should put some of your beautiful photos up as reference or something. I for one, would absolutely love a good qaulity photo such as this.

Beautiful!

I understand that there is a certain purist notion that wildlife must be photographed using available natural light, but (in my opinion) the best photographers are the ones who use whichever technique will get them the shot they need! I think it's a great image. I love my strobes and speelights, so I would have felt inclined to use the flash off-axis with my PocketWizards, but that's just my

LOL... My ignorance is that obvious?! No, most of my work is in portraiture and weddings. I love wildlife photography and have a great deal of respect for those who create it, but my attention span is far too short to be able to be a wildlife photographer myself.

If you used a flash, you can hardly tell. It looks like natural light or bounced light. I like!!!

The fox went out on a chilly night,
He prayed for the Moon to give him light,
For he'd many a mile to go that night, before he reached the town-o.
