Badger

Had a few days in Cornwall to celebrate a relatives birthday and stayed at our usual holiday camp.

 

The first night i was there i heard some rustling outside, peered out the window and there was a badger right below me, eating the bread i'd put out for the birds.

 

Over the next few nights i tried to get some photos of him. Initially i used a night light and long exposures but got blurry shots. Then moved onto a diffused torchlight and they were better but not great, then finally tried a diffused table lamp with a low wattage bulb.

 

The badger wasn't at all fussed by it, quite happily eat all the bread i'd put out and i finally managed to get some decent shots.

 

I still had to use a high ISO1600 and quite a slow shutter speed of 1/6sec but was pleased with this.
