How to Photograph Rabbits (www.naturettl.com)
 

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.

…but mostly eating. And some small movements that seem to blur the line between hop and not-hop. It's still cute and healing to watch in my opinion.

🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨 Quadruple bun alert in c/bunnies@lemmy.world

This feels like Where's Waldo for adults. Took me a bit to find all four.

I am reminded of something I read back on Reddit, that colorblind people have an advantage with seeing animals whose coloration otherwise make them blend into the environment. I saw that discussion on a picture with cats blending into the environment similarly to how the bunnies blend in here.

For folks not getting a preview thumbnail, this is an on-topic video about rabbit fur, not an off-topic video about a human hairstyle that has nothing to do with rabbits beside the name "bunny". Watching the video shows an owner removing what seems to be excess bunny fluff, gently pulling out hairs that are shedding and would already fall out naturally with a bit of friction and/or time. The excess bunny fluff is later shaped and placed on the bunny's head like a wig.

Thanks as always to OP for helping keep this community active.

Thanks for the higher quality image! Yes, 8 or 9. This might tie for highest buns per photo in !bun_alert_system@lemmy.sdf.org, where the current highest number is 9. Very cute to look at.

One of the comments calls Petey a lovebird, and it seems to check out with a quick search online. Not a bird expert though.

That's at least 5 rabbits in one picture, if not more (too blurry to tell if bunny or dirt). Highly recommend clicking to the article to find the picture.
