It took many months before I was even able to find a suitable location, but the real challenge began once the badgers started appearing.<\/p>\n<h2>Rewarding time<\/h2>\n<p>We know more about whales than we do about badgers, as badgers live a highly elusive life. This has made them all the more appealing to work with. Heavily persecuted since the early 1800s, badgers still suffer greatly at the hand of man despite being afforded some of the highest levels of protection in the UK. With little reason to trust humans, it makes the time spent with them all the more rewarding.<\/p>\n<p>Deep in the forest very little light reaches the ground, so despite the badgers emerging fairly early while the sun is still relatively high in the sky, this light rarely reaches the badgers. This has forced me to develop a strategy that masters the art of low-light photography.<\/p>\n<p>Working in low-light photography can be more challenging with wildlife than with static subjects. You can only do so much with your shutter speed before any subject\u2019s movement becomes an issue. The available light can also change drastically with the slightest change of an animal\u2019s position.<\/p>\n<p>Badgers do not sit still for long, as they like to snuffle around and explore their surroundings. Their coloration can also be an issue, with their contrasting black and white markings making it difficult to expose each shade correctly.<\/p>\n<p>While some people opt for flash to compensate for difficult or dark conditions, I like to work with the natural light available. This leaves me with a few options on how to achieve well- exposed, usable images in such challenging low-light photography conditions.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_110902&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-110902 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/low-light-badger-early-in-morning.jpg\" alt=\"low light badger early in morning\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/low-light-badger-early-in-morning.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/low-light-badger-early-in-morning.jpg?resize=135,100 135w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/low-light-badger-early-in-morning.jpg?resize=300,225 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/low-light-badger-early-in-morning.jpg?resize=533,400 533w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/low-light-badger-early-in-morning.jpg?resize=900,675 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/low-light-badger-early-in-morning.jpg?resize=562,422 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II, 40-150mm, 1\/400sec at f\/2.8, ISO 800<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Kit list<\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Gimbal head and tripod<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A sturdy tripod and gimbal head will ensure that your kit feels weightless, while allowing smooth movement and stability when needed for those slow shutter- speed shots.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Fast lens<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A lens capable of achieving a wide aperture such as f\/2.8 will make a big difference in poor light conditions.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_110903&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-110903 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/low-light-badger-looking-back.jpg\" alt=\"low light badger looking back\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/low-light-badger-looking-back.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/low-light-badger-looking-back.jpg?resize=300,450 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/low-light-badger-looking-back.jpg?resize=267,400 267w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/low-light-badger-looking-back.jpg?resize=900,1350 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/low-light-badger-looking-back.jpg?resize=562,843 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Tesni prefers to work with natural light.

When your aperture is wide open and you have pushed your ISO to its absolute limit, the last option is to slow your shutter speed. It is possible to capture pin-sharp images at 1\/60sec or less.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Use a tripod<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While nothing can be done about the movement of your subject, minimising camera shake will certainly help when you start to push your shutter speed to its limits. Use a suitable tripod and remember to turn off your image stabiliser if it doesn\u2019t do this automatically when on a tripod.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Know your subject<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Knowing your chosen species intimately will allow you to anticipate its behaviour. There may be occasions when your subject will pose in a certain way or stay relatively static. Anticipating this behaviour and preparing for it will help you capture pin-sharp images despite less-than-ideal settings.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Focus on one species<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Start a project that involves photographing just one species. It can be a great way to develop your portfolio beyond standard images. Whether it\u2019s a specific bird, mammal or even just an area, focusing your time will stack the odds in your favour to capture unique photographs.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Patience is a virtue<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Any wildlife photographer can attest to the fact that wildlife will push your patience to its limits. Whether it\u2019s a few days, weeks or even months and years, it can take time to merely find the wildlife, let alone photograph it. Perseverance will see your patience rewarded.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Natural<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Always take photographs that showcase animals in their natural environment, if you can do so without disturbing their habitat. This will give you the opportunity to photograph unique behaviours and fleeting moments that give viewers a glimpse into wildlife\u2019s hidden world.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>One that didn\u2019t work<\/h2>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_110906&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-110906 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/low-light-one-badger-that-didnt-work.jpg\" alt=\"low light one badger that didn't work\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/low-light-one-badger-that-didnt-work.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/low-light-one-badger-that-didnt-work.jpg?resize=300,450 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/low-light-one-badger-that-didnt-work.jpg?resize=267,400 267w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/low-light-one-badger-that-didnt-work.jpg?resize=900,1350 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/low-light-one-badger-that-didnt-work.jpg?resize=562,843 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Credit: Tesni Ward<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2><\/h2>\n<p>I often use sequential or burst mode to maximise the chance of capturing at least one successful image.

After bike-packing the length of France in her teens with her family, she started to undertake solo adventures in her 20s. Always a keen swimmer, she discovered a love of wild water 15 years ago, and has since swum the Dart 10k three times, qualified as a swim coach and learned to freedive. She is formerly editor of Advnture.com and deputy editor of Mountain Biking UK magazine and jumps at the chance to swim somewhere slightly muddy and remote, no matter how cold the water.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iswim.likeagirl\/"],"url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/author\/roseewoodland\/"}]}},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/low-light-shy-badger-e1507201319830.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-27 10:18:30","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110892","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/323"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=110892"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110892\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":111164,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110892\/revisions\/111164"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/110908"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=110892"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=110892"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=110892"},{"taxonomy":"product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category?post=110892"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
