Well, I've had my camera (Nikon D3100) for a few days and we've finally got some nice weather, so what to do the bunnies do? Hide under the couch or the hearth ledge, of course, where it's impossible to get good photographs of them). Living in the PacNW, the days are quite short here as we approach the winter equinox (yay!) it's just impossible to get good shots at night, in low lighting... which is when my bunnies like to come out and play. During the day, they just... hide away.
Simon looking grumpy (and, I swear I'm cropping the photos in photobucket--and sometimes they show up cropped, and other times, not so much... can't figure out why).
NB: he was grumpy because
I was grumpy. Digging under the couch is a big
no-no around here. Actually, I hate the carpet, but I rent, so I must take care of the carpet. He doesn't actually shred the carpet, but it's a lousy habit he's gotten himself into. I had to break out the water spray bottle... which deterred him (until next time).
Evidence of his misbehavior:
And photographic proof bunnies have a distinct way of saying, "Go away, you bug me!"
The more mellow side of Simon:
And a pretty picture of Olive:
Yes, this one was cropped on photobucket, too. No idea why it doesn't show up as cropped on this BB... or maybe it will once it publishes? I don't know. I'm so behind the technological times.
Olive exploring:
Sniff, sniff:
Just a cute little shot of the (sometimes) sweet lil' gal:
What Olive thinks of photography skills (and I think so, too):
I have to say, even though I know
squat about photography, I'm enjoying using my Nikon 3100 and only wish I had better photography skills and knowledge. How
do people get such wonderful shots of their bunnies? I've taken literally hundreds in the last few days, and only a few are
barely bloggable. It's sad, really. I have the fanciest camera I've ever owned, and still, my shots seem so
blah.
I will say that despite my lack of mad photography skillz, the camera does a wonderful job despite my ineptitude. For example, the orange highlights on Olive's neck actually photograph quite well... before she just kind of looked like a brown blob... especially her face. It really captures her face well, too... so much more expression.
I really should be doing homework... one week of the quarter left and I'm distracting myself/ignoring work by photographing the bunnies. Tsk, tsk.
