Like that Stu, lovely light on it. I don't mind it being central, there could always be a case for more space in front of it but this just works. I'm loving your take on the hares, hopefully I can spend some time on the local fields this year, I've seen and photographed them plenty of times, but yet to establish where they are 'based' so to speak. Sometimes, I just hide and wait, on whatever wildlife might go by but hares seem to have a good population here as they make regular appearances.
Keep up the good work on these Stu, excellent stuff.
Cheers dude good init I just pressed the shutter and this come out nowt to do with me buddy,
I'm with you on the framing Dale and a bit downwards too methinks, a smidge more for her legs would do no harm. But honestly I'm glad she stuck her head up,I learnt here center just about sneaeked it. I'll 'ave some credit on some of the others Dale
We had a look last night after having a moment with PS I was incredibly lucky this night,my framing was weak mate,it's an area up close when one's blood is pumping I have to work at. Mind they stand up on back legs and if not in portrait then something is cut then they go the other way and stretch longways and one is scuppered the other way,they are tricky sods all this in seconds . With a prime it's ok until they come over. !! Camera juggling.madness it is !!! But I need to frame better that's for sure
Dale if there is anything I know or can share to help you see what have been gifted too. with hares, just ask bro
,I don't know nuffin but I'm repeating close after close.encounters with that comes a chance or two. Mate I'd love you to see these things and share them, as an image maker I can't share site info frankly i'm scared ***less.
We see almost all hare images of pretty much this classic alert pose or the much missed boxing,bit 'o' grooming sure. . But their behaviours especially the interactions outside breeding, kids an adults, teenagers, are fascinating. They are deep mate,not a thick old bunny
Seriously,there is something going on behind those deep amber scared to death eyes.That "intelligence "means they are great to try and capture,It's like trying to grab thier spirit or some such nonsense ,Sounds nonsense but it isn't. !! Their eyes really don't say alot though unlike some subjects sure you can grab dozy and zonked out, they are a very interesting subject,. I'm not really knowldgeable about all the myths and folklore mate but they are a bit special I can see how it was aquired.
Mate spend as much time just walking and watching now as poss,you'll learn much now that will help later start where you saw them, watch where the farmers sow,where's the BEST grub
where is the best grub going to be as the next crop show? Be tight to hedges like a snail through a gate way,try to move in the shade,you wante to see them first,which can be slightly tricky
Although it might take ages to get to a hare I try to never let it see me as a standing upright human and then turn into a crouchy stalky thing Two fold if they don't know what you are and can't recognise you as human, they'll often come to you to find out what you are.There is nothing better in the world than a totally wild hare sauntering over for a lookseee Second by proxy folks want to eat hares,so if I never appear as human then maybe I won't make them tame for another human,fine line there mate,but what can one do. I spent weeks with those two kids ,but I couldn't ever walk up to them
all the luck
