Canon EOS 1Ds MkII, 500/f4, beanbag on car window.
Av exposure mode f7.1, 1/800, iso 200, AWB (converted to daylight in processing).
RAW image processed in Capture One; sharpened in Photoshop CS2 (amount = 100 percent; radius = 0.2; threshold = 0 applied five times); full frame.
It’s been about 10 years since I managed to gain the confidence of one of my local hares, but I’ve had a bit of success with this one over the last couple of weekends. I’m not too sure what this going to look like on other folks’ monitors though; I’m posting it from my laptop because the monitor connected to my desktop is now way past it.
I’ve still got a couple of places left on the weekend workshops I’m running if anyone is interested. So far we’ve had great success with foxes, badgers, jays, turtle doves, various waders and ducks, and now I hope, the hares as well.
Hello Phil
Very nice image of one of my favourite subjects. It does look just a little on the bright side on my monitors. I would love to attend your workshops, but distance a bit too much I'm afraid.
Best wishes

Excellent pose, I can't recall seeing a hare photo like this before, very well caught.
I would agree the image looks very bright, possibly due the lighting at the time (strong sunlight?) but probably can be improved by tweaking the levels a bit.
Slightly tight in the frame for my taste, but still an super image to have in your portfolio.
Agree it does look a little bright, it is always difficult on a laptop, super pose that is just a little tight for my taste but a great image to view because of the action...

Does look a little "hot" But excellent pose! Just love that piece of grass in it's mouth. Nice light too.
Roll on next weekend, I can't wait

Cracking pose, looks a little bright on my screen but on yours it would be fine so no nits just a great shot.
Danny
really nice one.
On my non-calibrated CRT, but fairly well adjusted, it is not bright, only a tad on the contrasty side.
