Boxing Hares + Repost.
D2X's + 600mm afs II + 1.4 conv.
1/640 @ f7.1
ISO:320.
Ex Comp -0.7EV.
Car, bean bag.

They say you cant make a silk purse out of a pigs ear but I am going to try.
6.30am out Home 6pm.
What a struggle nothing has gone to well. When these two decided to perform the light dropped off. Just not good enough, but I like it.

Major. :biggrin:

Very well done Major, I know many people have been trying to capture these.. Might consider taking out the black OOF obejcts at the top of the frame, and tweak the contrast and a round of USM just very slightly to lift the hares. Otherwise I'm liking it a lot.

I like it too Major, you've captured the action very nicely. Could maybe benefit from a touch more contrast (on my uncalibrated laptop, anyway).

And I like it too - very much :toast: :toast:

I've been thinking of giving the D2Xs a workout myself - thanks for the nudge :wink:

Good stuff.
Never photographed an adult Hare. Not seen one for too many years to remember.

A fine boxing image Major... It may be me but the bg almost has a photoshopped quality of blur? A fine image nontheless.
