My OperaOpportunity knocks

After yesterday's surprise 'missed opportunity' with a local woodland fox, I decided to head back there this morning. This time I was more cautious in my approach, and ready with the camera. Sure enough the fox was there, sleeping. I kept my distance, zoomed, focused, and managed three rapid (and virtually identical) frames before it noticed my presence and slipped away into the cover of the trees.

It's amazing how they do a good act in looking asleep when they're really focussed on how to avoid photographers

It was 'one-shot' AF, so at least once I was in focus I wasn't going to lose it with any minor movement. My defauly is what Canon call AI, which is continual AF.
