Title: Just a bunny
Post by: gerafotografija on July 20, 2013, 11:56:42 pm

I caught this rabbit chomping on flower petals, but had a tough time getting a shot. He was a bit skittish and I opted for fast shutter speed with narrow DOF.

I thought the Portra-like color toning looked pretty good. I don't do it too often. It reminds me of the kind of thing wedding photographers go for.

To an Australian there is no thing as just a bunny… Rabbit plagues Australia (https://www.google.com.au/search?q=rabbit+plagues+australia&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=7K3rUfKrDsfriAe0x4GgDg&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ&biw=1054&bih=1188).

Cheers,

Very nice portrait, I like the framing and the colorful petals.

I like it - probably because I'm not living in Australia!

My apologies to the Aussie contingent. Thanks for looking!

Not to worry…

Here's a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgPhn4tYxJQ) to give you an idea about the problem. The story of the rabbit proof fence (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit-proof_fence) is interesting too.

If you want another interesting reaction just post a picture of a possum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_brushtail_possum_in_New_Zealand) and see what the Kiwis have to say.

Cheers,
