Hello,

Yes... the fence is, but the trick is to make it disappear, a number of people ask about that.. here is the quick answer;

lens - i use a 200 - 300mm lens, the longer lens helps to reach through the fence,by that I mean the fence has to be way out of focus, so much that the fence vanishes.

distance - you want to push the lends as close to the fence as you can.. but you need the animal to be very far away from the fence... that way it is in focus but the fence is not

Light vs dark - the fence needs to be dark. so try and pick part of the fence in the shade, or a cloudy day.. light on the fence will show up on the picture.

basically that is it.. the fence just disappears..

Regards,

Nigel
