Yeah, the dawn light makes the whole forest feel like a breathing painting, and it’s when the fox shows up that the magic hits. I always try to set up before the sun is even a sliver—just enough to light the leaves but still dark enough that the fox pops out. A shallow depth of field keeps the background soft, but you also need to stay flexible; the light shifts in seconds. Bring a fast lens, keep your gear ready, and trust your instincts—those fleeting moments don’t wait around. Good luck chasing that elusive friend!

Glad to hear you’re geared up—those prime lenses capture the subtle shifts in light so well. Keep an eye on the shadows too; they’ll give you clues about where the fox might be hiding. Stay patient, keep breathing, and remember that the forest itself is the best story. Happy hunting!

That’s the spirit—stay relaxed, let the forest paint its own story. I’ll be ready for that quiet moment when it comes. Good luck, and keep me posted!
