Don't feel worthy at all this month, however here are my efforts.
These are feral rabbits in the Ranches.
EXIF
Canon 350D
Sigma 150-500mm at 500mm
f5.6 cheap glass
1/50 second on monopod
ISO 800 really pushing it

ISO 1600 pushing it to much
Anyway that all for now folks, as always C&C and any other abuse welcome.

Bullseye!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely lapine, but I think both shots have composition issues. You've cropped the rabbit's fluffy tail from both images for the sake of getting Bunny's head in the middle of the frame. I think you needed either to get the whole rabbit in, or else crop to a tight head shot.
The entire bunny would have put the head into the 'rule of thirds' area.
I also detect some camera shake in the first pic: the eyes are blurred. And the second is grainier, as you acknowledge, although there's no camera shake that I can see.
Congratulations on finding an actual bunny. Don't hug it, though. It might be the Vorpal Rabbit out of Holy Grail!
Fair comments, time for my excuse's ;-)
ReplyDeleteGenerally sh1tty to take, 500mm lens in low light is just a recipe for disaster, hence some movement and horrible ISO noise.
And before you jump in shut up Beckett ! I know Nikon can photograph in the dark ;-)
Fair call on the crop for the first one, but this is as shot, poor framing, should have repositioned my self by 0.1 degree.
Second one I know is another bulls eye but it got the tail in the balance looked wrong, the bum of the bunny just throws the composition balance off.
However enough excuses, I don’t like them much either but still practicing and pushing my skills to shoot them so good.
