Hi Matie..
No I dont have dogs, just do wildlife photography and the guys roped me in..
Aye it takes a lot of practice, especially lamping the rats. If your doing it yourself, while taking pictures, it will be difficult. When Im out the guys do all the moving of rubbish etc, Im just focussed totally on trying to get the shots, positioning, pre focussing sometimes lying on my belly at times to get that "better" shot
The book we are doing around ratting has a chapter on "how to" to assist anyone who wants to get better images. camera, lens, settings etc
