Also here's a picture of two bunnies:

Found this while typing my stream-of-consciousness into a search engine: then, my opinion that wild bunnies are cuter than domestics.

I was too slow to get my phone out to get a video of the bun hopping across my path, with its fluffy little tail showing. But it did stop close enough for me to get this picture!

I mod ![email protected] for a reason. Seeing wild bunnies brightens my day.

Louder bird sounds than I have ever heard before, though that could just be a factor of my own proximity to the bush and how many birds were congregated at the bush. I stopped and put my glasses on to look, but by then most had flown away.

I found this here on tumblr originally, captioned

Rabbits between the staves. Cambrai BM 125-128, c. 1540-50

Then I decided to do a vibe check to see if this was legit. I used IMSLP (The International Music Score Library Project) to check and found the overall music here. I narrowed this down to Cambrai BM 127, the Bassus part. If you download the Bassus (Complete) file you'll find this cute illustration on page 310!

Figured this might be useful for people here (especially myself) wanting to take better bunny pictures.

Article has stuff about rabbit behavior in general, which photographers would probably want to know so they could know what to take pictures of and where and when to find them doing it. Article also has plenty of adorable rabbit photographs!!

There is stuff all about the setup in the article, but the quick-digest technical information that I think certain phone camera users might be able to also take cues from is:

… a chance that rabbits might come quite close. A 300mm lens might be sufficient for frame-filling shots, but generally I have found that a 500mm f/4 or 600mm f/4 lens (on a full frame camera) is required.

My strategy with exposure is to start with an ISO of 800 and use my lens aperture wide open. This blurs the background and gives me the fastest shutter speed possible. Even for fairly static portrait shots of rabbits, a shutter speed of 1/500th of a second or faster will be helpful when using a long lens supported on a tripod or beanbag.

If you want to be ready for some sudden action, the shutter speed should be 1/2000th of a second or faster.
