This was the last image I took in Thanet this was one of three badgers In a row. The mangled state of the corpse was evidence of its time spent at the roadside. The decomposing stages had already started. The smell was not very nice I tried not to keep Bex next to the badger for to long when focusing. Again the roadside was very buzzy so we di have to keep moving. At this point we did stop for a little while as I had managed to walk in to a signpost on the long walk to the badger and was forming a large lump and an unwanted headache. I keep going back to the fox with the curve in the road although there is no curve in the road I tried to creating a slight angle to the image in the hope it will make it more visually interesting. At this point you cannot see anything on the other side of the road it dose add this ominous blackness. I like the way it feels like it is creeping in further to the image like the darkness is going to take over the badgers being. The exposure was F4 and with a shutter of 1/160 this brings as much light in to the image as possible while freezing the flash. The focusing was difficult with this image because of the constant moving.
