Leveret
There is a deliberte choice in framing ,not so much for the image shown which is what it is,but for the what might have been. I probably had the most strange lunch ever sat under the tailgate of our camper parked in a field where hares live. Had to drop my grub for a fella that appeared from the wood and then decided to come and investigate us. While sipping on my tea this tiny fella appeared, on the brow of the hill ..... and gave us a rare glimpse into the world of baby hare madness...............
slowly I put on pad,s thorn proof stuff ( TOO HOT) . Naturally the light crashed ............. Fella was charging about like a mad thing ears all ways. People need to see a baby hare learning to run ,it's some sight !!. Getting to him was easy: then waiting for what seemed like an age for him to appear from a tiny rut. That tiny rut had all but an ear hidden Suddenly he was really aware of me and in seconds was on me. Baby hares are so hypo ,it is unreal in seconds gone.... not scared just disappeared and then back again so close from within a grass run I felt I could touch the little rascal. A real missed chance I'll rarely see again that grass run image
In some images I can see the break in the front which was 1/2 hour away in fella's eye. I so wish I had more dof withing this set well just a tad more light bit more SS good bit more DOF.
