Fox at Grey Revisited
I just got an e-mail from Roger Pool today, one of the participants from my workshop in Patagonia this March. Roger has put his images on SmugSmug and they’re excellent. To view them, go here.
In the e-mail he sent me, there was a picture of the fox we had the great excitement of photographing while at the edge of Lago Grey one morning.
Yep, that’s me on the right side, with my ear-wind-shields up on my hat, crouched over my tripod.
I love this image because it shows how close we were to the fox. The image I created from this shoot is here. I was struggling because I had the entirely wrong kind of lens on my camera… a wide angle when the fox appeared. It would have been very tempting for me to zoom right in, but I’m pleased I was restricted to what I had.
looks great wide.

I agree, I’d say you had exactly the right lens. Who needs another closeup of a fox ? Seeing the animal in its environment is far more powerful.

Bruce- is there a way to subscribe to your blog at all? I seen the RSS but to be honest I don’t use them that often, as i prefer to be able to “Subscribe by Email.” I didn’t see a way of doing that on your site for updates.
I love this feature (I read 10 photography/travel blogs a day) and would be a regular reader if you had this feature. Think your work is great but I won’t lie (like most) that if I have to remember to check your site all the time then I will miss good stuff you have written.
Anyways, food for thought and will be the first to subscribe if you add this feature.
Keep on posting, safe travels and love your work!

Hi T-roy,
I’d have to check on this….. I think there is an e-mail feature, but I’m wary of it, because it’s not well explained and I’m sure it would start emailing everyone on my blog unwanted posts…..

Bruce- I see your using WordPress, as so do I. I know you can easily set up an “Subscribe by Email” feature on your website. You just need to find a place to put it in your sidebar, paste the code there, then get it hooked with a feedburner.
It would only send emails to people who signed up for it and not everyone. If you go to my page and look at the top right on my header bar you will see my “Subscribe by Email” box. So whenever I make a post, anyone who has signed up for it will have it delivered to their email inbox the next day. Just for giggles give it a try on my website (you can unsubscribe anytime) just to see how it works.
As I said, love your work and your posts but it’s hard for most people to remember to check it all the time. By setting up the above you can get more loyal readership to your site. Believe me it’s not that hard to set up and once you do your good to go.
