You can never have to many tuts/masterclasses on shadowing, and Carole has many of them. Although they are at the bottom of the food chain, 99.9% can and do out run any 4 legged predator. I have coyotes, foxes, badgers, GH Owls and Hawks, and yet the Hare population is growing. By all account only Eagles and the largest of the Hawks and Owls can and will take down Hares successfully, even then 75% will get away relativley unharmed. They do get stressed easily. Their eyes reveal a great deal about their wildness, and how they are constantly on the alert, as they are free, unlike those kept in captivity tha tare dependant on humans. Also, even with domesticated animals, they don't understand that when they are injured and in our care or rehab us humans are trying to help them. I have been finding their discarded white winter coats. I'm sure mice, voles, birds and many other creatures will be uising it to line their nests with. It is so fine and soft to the touch, and blows in the wind like fine feathers do. I'm looking forward to spotting this year's young ones. -

I read the blog post too and had never thought about a "table" as a starting point. Great idea and you executed it to perfection. That shadow on the folded edge of the photo is outstanding. There is a little bend(arc?) near the corner of the shadow and really "makes it" seem so real. I must admit to wanting to hug and cuddle and get my face all up in their fur. I know they'd "love it" too. hahaha. Poor guy, it would probably give it a heart attack. I saw on a wildlife rescue show that any wild rabbits, hares etc is hard to rehab because they stress easy (being a prey animal and all). BTW, love the quote. -

#5 You can see I didnt quite nail the backgrounds. To much light contamination and different colors in the flowers and glass reflecting. even with a custom white balance in-camera. I've just started to experiment with using Kelvin settings instead to see if that helps. (I'm using constant light so light contamination from my yellows walls and a window in the room can be an issue since I'm shooting at a slower shutter speed - one day i'll have strobes (studio flashes) and that wont be an issue as much) -
