Lievre, brown hare
Bonjour
I am still very much FRUSTATED because I see all the exelent pictures of hare on this forum and I am still unable to go on my field it is STILL to.........wet!and it is raining now!!!!Here is one I did last year.Again I wanted to get extremely close to the subject and I use my 500mmm and the 2 time. The hare was eating and on this shot you can see his tongue coming out just before grabbing something to eat.
I hope this VERY weather change soon otherwise it will be next year before I go photographing hare again!
Bonne apres midi
Frederic

very nice the detail on the fur is great as is the light, not sure about the composition though doesn't quite feel right to me, i think it might need to be tighter but then what do i know

Looks a bit strange to me. Almost as if it is lying on its side?

Often hare will pic a plant from the base and then eat it, that is why the hare grab it from the side.

Don't you find that they steam the lens up when they breath Frederic!!
Impressive field-craft and the picture ain't half bad either.

How to get hare not to move and close to them . This is a Belgian trick(It work every time with me). You have got to place a bit of salt on the end of his tale. Hope this help :jump: :jump: :jump: :wavey:
