Camera Trapping Gray Fox

I had a trail camera set up in this little wash the last couple of weeks and noticed that the animals would sometimes use it to access our water hole. So last night I grabbed a bunch of flashes and set up knowing this would be the last night of this moon cycle to still capture stars in the sky. Got lucky and captured most of the fox! Normally if there is any abient light such as the moon in this case, the subject will be ghosted. Here the fox must have been holding perfectly still since it is sharp, maybe it sees a mouse.

Techs for the curious: Olympus OM-1, silent shutter, f/4, ISO 4,000 20 seconds. Usually I would go with a larger f-stop and shorter shutter speed, but the exact location of the subject wasn’t obvious, so I wanted a tad more depth of field. Two Godox flashes up close camera left and right at 128 power, another one on a stand camera right at 1/32 power which must not have fired since the right hand saguaros are dark, and a Nikon flash off in the distance camera left a 1/32 power.
