Curious Cottontail Rabbit
While preparing to leave a photography location in the evening, I noticed a few rabbits grazing at edge of the parking lot. Small mammals such as rabbits are often very skittish, and I was also physically exhausted after a very long day of extreme photography, but I stayed true to my philosophy of giving everything 110% effort. I believe when you give that extra 10% of effort or patience, magical things often happen.
So I put my camo jacket, facemask, and gloves on, snuck out a ways and got prone on the ground with my Skimmer Pod. Shortly after, the animals proceeded to graze closer and closer to me. Eventually a rabbit go so close to me that its head filled the frame and my lens could no longer focus on it.
It was a fun and exciting experience to be in their world, at close range, and I am extremely pleased with the resulting image.
