SHOOTING RABBITS IN THE DARK....BUT, ONLY WITH THE CAMERA!

Hawkins, TX

Okay, I had to look a little nuts running around in the dark with a flashlight and my camera. I heard the rabbits out there and it is difficult to focus on something you can't see without the flashlight. I was running around in the dark, leaping and jumping over stuff to try to get a decent shot. And, I finally spotted this guy and put the flashlight on him and was able to get this shot. I just hope I wasn't being filmed....I must have looked like a crazy lady! LOL!

Was this before or after you became a deer? You did very good of getting this difficult shot, congrats!

They call that "pit lamping" here, and it's illegal :) But not if you shoot with a camera. Ya probably scared the livin' bejeezuz outta him! Imagine the story he had when he got home: "Crazy lady with a camera and a flashlight chased me all the way back to the den ma, honest!"

I don't know how you manage to get all this wildlife to stay still enough for a nano-second ....you must have a special effect on them! I have 3 or 4 really big 'thumpers' in field next door at the moment, but know I could never get near enough to them when still. You're efforts paid off...well done!

Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do...

That would have been priceless to have seen... America's Funniest Home Videos here we come! Great low light shot. Love the suffering for the art part as well as the final image. Well done!
