Arvicola terrestris
Bonjour
Two days ago a friend and I went to photograph a special species of bird....unfortunatly that bird was not present....while walking along side a river we so that water vole....
Picture taken with 500mm and 1.4. one twig was clone at the back of the picture.(640iso)
I am extremly frustrated at the moment the field where I photograph hare is totaly a no go area because there is so much water.....I went on foot the other day and I counted 26 hare and of course there were interacting with each other, JUST TO P...ME OFF. I think that I am going to get a tank (A friend of mine is saling a T34 at the moment) to access that b..... field!
Bonne journee

Hi Frederic nice picture and I like the water and comp. I just feel the Vole on my monitor could do with a little bit more sharpening.

Hi Frederic,

Very nice enviro capture! I agree that a blast of USM would help!

I like the way the water runs over the edge in front of the shot. Nice one Frederic.
You've been quiet lately, have you got something special up your sleeve?

Hello Eric
I have done a lot of photography recently, because I am going to have a web site, so I am quite keen of RE doing a lot of species especially "white speicies"....I have also done a lot of of photography with friends photographer who have setup things for me but I am not to keen to show pictures that I have taken on other people prop and setup...it is their hard work after all...so they should be the one taken the credit not me....
Have a great day
Frederic

Nice surprise for you then Frederic well caught.
The position of the vole and the water flowing all work fine.
As mentioned it looks a though the vole could benefit from some more USM. :toast:
