Wildlife Photography

Maybe I'll try taking a rabbit picture! We have a whole family living in my yard (The parents, teens, and smalll babies... a BIG family!) They're always in the garden!

Okay, so I tried the rabbit picture, it did not turn out so great!

This is their den I waited outside of for what felt like an eternity (nothing ever came out).

This is as close as I could get to one of the teens.

...and this was my attempt of the mom

As you can see... not the best photos ... but I tried! Maybe I'll get a good one next time.

Pretty cool having a rabbit den in your backyard. Hey, it's hard enough getting close up shots with a zoom lens, let alone a cell phone camera...

I went out to check on my quail yesterday and found this little guy curled up next to one of the legs of their pen. I thought it was a copperhead at first because of how light tan his body was but it was actually a young water moccasin.

It looks like I just found myself another rescue butterfly!

It looks like it's deformed like Wishing4Wings' mourning cloak!

Cool snake pic!

We've had a lot of flooding the last 2 winters and I've seen more snakes while duck hunting then I've seen in my entire life. They were all in the trees or swimming....


Here's a cormorant on the Mobile causeway. They have some pretty eyes but I haven't snuck close enough to get a detailed pic of them yet....

I tried out your tips on this photo. How did I do??

(Taken early morning, mostly blurry background, more space in front than behind the hornet...?)

Its some hornet thing!

You did great, with a cell phone too. That's awesome. You got close enough to it so the background starts to blur out and you got the hornet in focus (which is the most important thing). You're close to eyelevel with it and there's more space in front than behind him. The light is nice and it lights up the whole flower, it's not the super harsh high noon bright light that creates a ton of dark shadows. Good job...
