Wildlife at home

Saturday evening this rabbit posed for a few shots before running of into the brush.

Tonight this guy was out on my deck making noise. He happened to be sitting in a place where the flood light lit him up. I grabbed the camera took a couple shots. Just as i was adjusting the aperture to get more DOF he hopped away. Also a little noisey as i was still at ISO 800. I'll get more chances since they are always out there.

Both great shots. The DOF works for the frog as you hit focus spot dead on the eye.

Good work!

I agree w/ Dead Eye ( HI ).
The sharper the eye, the beter the photo.
You may have a fantastic shot..super subject, but if the eye is the least bit out of focus, the shot is, well, not worth it pixels.

Love the crisp, sharp, infocus eyes on both the bunny and the frog.
Nice Work!

(PS: if it were me, I would do a tigher crop on the frog...just my humble opinion.)

It agree but it's already a heavy crop, anymore and i started really loosing quaility.


He came out this evening on the edge of the pool just as the storm rolled in (still light out). I got about 5 shots before i started getting wet. I used the 105 Macro lens. Still a shallow DOF as it was getting darker each shot so i didn't get it close it down.

I think the crop on the first frog is fine. The second two, IMO, are too tight though.

All three look like studio shots; good lighting. The eye detail in the second two is super.
