some of ya might know I'm slightly besotted with the brown hare......I love 'em..I find it astounding that an animal built for speed and flight will come to me spend time with me. I've spent over 2 hours lying on the deck with one trusting adult ha I'm old had to sneak away have a break, and then go back, fella still let me in. An dats not talking kidlets whom are beyond cute and can be silly trustiing....
so I'm years in now of making images of Lepus europeas.....years in means one is trying to find sommit one has not yet made..it sort of pushes ya as an image maker.which is profoundly cool.
Boxing hares has been this sort of nemasis.sure I already have some and sure already this year I have seen more boxing incidents than I can remember.but getting a frame upclose is hard. Recently I had a moment after a whole day of battering myself for a pic.........ha put us in just the right place watched male hare come in to female made pics as they started boxing stu took camera away from eye to watch
There is little hope for me to oneday be a wildlife tog.
So,it's easter I can step back from the train ride called work battered senseless pulling 12 hour days on some godforsaken buildiing site and search for hare fighting
I can't get to me usual haunt,, so we visit another space where I actually have permission I rarely use ,so we drive around this big ole triangle.......we leave the 4 half asleep doing little we leave the male guarding his lady, the singles.....we keep pushing Keep moving after observation.
We come to a corner as the fog is starting to burn off light is getting harsh...........3 hare there which weren't not long before and a 4th is making his way in.
He'll be a boy he is trailing a scent ya learn this stuff with time, he might be the catylist............ he is
With me recent taking camera from eye mishap and me stren talking to self ringiing in my ears I machine gun the DXii. hares move back a bit trigger happyness continues.
If I had my time over then I'd push SS higher than the 1/2500 you will see....hare lags move so fast.so so fast .techs 1/2500 f8 ISO on auto came out at 2500. Image is waaay too big a crop so the quest continues.
But that said, the ever present wet of life right now is apparent and also there is a joy in shooting that against the light ahh man those water droplets.a slow mo tail of what's going down
Ok that's enough waffle 1dxii 400DOii 2Xextiii image made from campervan window not mud scrubblin' ahh the shame bloody light weight
rip it up crit wise anything ya can offer gratefully received
Ta for reading soz for the long tale tis me init
bye
