A fox standing under the torii gate at night

Thank you for watching.

I was lucky enough to take this picture and I will never be able to take it again.

On this day, I didn't really want to shoot anything, so I somehow visited the shrine at night.

When I stood on a tripod and tried to take a picture of the torii with a telephoto lens, I saw something black in the picture.

At first I thought it was a kitten, but after taking a few shots, I saw the big ears that are characteristic of a fox, so I knew it was a fox.

I was shooting the fox so as not to surprise it, but I was looking at it as if I had noticed it with a noise.

Perhaps because I was shooting with excitement, I made a mistake in the camera settings and pressed the shutter with the long exposure settings.

I was wondering if the fox would shake, but the fox was still in the picture.

After that, this photo was able to get 300,000 likes on Twitter.
