Brown hare in Hoar frost

February 23, 2015 by fred Leave a Comment

Hoar frost is not something I have the chance to photograph often. Well last Sunday I took loads of pictures of hares, Chinese water deer in hoar frost. It was spectacular. Of course I was at my “Hare Paradise” and I had a cracking time with my little friends….

When the sun rises, it is always a battle to find a subject to place in the frame. You need to be very quick as “that” moment does not last very long…maybe 5 minutes at best, after the sun is too high and it`s too late,.  This time I was lucky! you need a bit of luck from time to time.. 🙂

I was able to come very close to this one. Taken about 3 metres away with 70-200mm. The sheep in the background were a bonus! 🙂

After a while I came across this chap. A very tame Chinese water deer.

At first he looked at me and then started to graze
