Rabbits from Flanders

in animalphotography •  7 years ago  (edited)

Rabbits are relatively common sight in the Northern France, but it's not easy to convince them to be the models.

The best time is to see them is about 2 hours before the sunset, while they are eating and don't pay too much attention.

I used Sony a6000 with sel55210 lens.

If they are standing still, 1/250s is a reasonable shutter speed, but if they run, it's necessary to use 1/1000s.

In contrast to other lenses, it's ok to use sel55210 with fully opened aperture concerning the resolution in the central areas of the picture (f/6.3 - f/11.0 is pretty much the same).

The sweet spot for the peripheral region is about f/8.0. source

Great timing. Very stong survival instincts.

You can take me, but you cannot take my bunghole.... For I have no bunghole....

Nice little shot you got buddy. These animals are domesticated in this part of the world though...

It's also the home of Flemish Giant rabbit, the largest breed of all (10kg or even more)

Very nice photo; they are not easy to get while sitting still. We have similar rabbits here in the western USA; they are most peaceful for the first hour in the morning after the sun rises.

=^..^=

I was walking by, shot with the wrong settings and they run away :'(
Incredibly cautious animals...

To su bre neki divljaci. :D Nekoliko minuta posle ponoci, pogledao sam kroz prozor i video jednog kako skakuce po ulici, najzanimljivije je to sto je tad poceo Uskrs. Bas se potrefilo, a inace kod mene nema zeceva. :D

Pre 3 godine je bila invazija zecova ovde. Pa ih je skoro nestalo, a sada ih ima "onako"

I envy you. Here in Cyprus wild life is mostly restricted to stray cats and cockroaches.

Sea/ sun compensate it :)
