While photographing polar bears, foxes and other fascinating wildlife of the Arctic region has now become a line item on every nature photographer’s bucket list, this photograph was taken at the turn of the century, when few had the opportunity to witness that magnificent wilderness. This Arctic fox, one of a feisty pair, was checking out a heap of ice alongside Hudson Bay. After ensuring the area was clear of polar bears, I left the protection of the tundra buggy and got into a prone position in the snow.
All foxes are challenging to photograph because they move so quickly that there’s little time to compose the image. But an Arctic fox’s winter coat offers the additional problem of photographing a white animal on white snow. In the digital realm, the histogram will help the photographer to achieve clear white tones and detail. In the film era, the solution was to manuallyincrease the metered exposure by 1.5 stops to render the ice white instead of gray; the sunlight bouncing off the snow actually filled the shadows and lit the eyes of the subject like a built-in reflector.
Beautiful, curious and playful, the Arctic fox is a delightful and memorable subject I’d love to meet again, with all the speed and sensitivity offered by today’s digital gear.
