Time resolved (40-sec resolution, ~6-hours per night), R-band photometry of the outbursting black hole candidate XTE J1118+480 (ATEL #383) was obtained with the European Space Agency, 1-m OGS telescope at the Spanish Observatorio del Teide (Tenerife) from 2005 Jan 21.01 to Jan 26.30. The average R-band magnitude displays a linear decay with a rate of ~0.06 mag/day. Mean magnitudes are: Jan 21.3, 13.54+-0.01; Jan 22.07, 13.61+-0.01; Jan 23.14, 13.65+-0.01; Jan 24.15, 13.70+-0.01; Jan 25.15, 13.77+-0.01; Jan 26.12, 13.84+-0.01.
