Taking Pictures of your Rabbit

[HopsHopscotch]

I was wondering how all of you take pictures of your rabbit? I often try to take pictures of Hopscotch, but he either runs really close to camera or runs away. Any hints of tricks would help.

I just take a lot of pictures really fast and then go through and select the ones I like. I usually take pictures for a few hours at a time if I decide I want to take them. I haven’t been able to get a good flopped picture though I tried again this morning but his hearing is just too good Also, it helps if you have a camera with a zoom lense so you can be farther away.

I always take pictures of my bunnies in natural light in the afternoon, right after they have napped so the are still active, but a little bit tired. I pet them for a bit, and make sure I have some veggies on hand. Then I give them a new or forgotten toy and just start snapping, no flash. If you take a pic while they are chewing, you can get a “smiling” pic.

Agree with Jessie. You have to take a lot of pics to get some really good ones. And Longearedlions is spot on about the natural light. Using flash is not very flattering. When I do photoshoots, like themed for Christmas or Halloween, I set up an area on my stove or table and take the pics there so the bun doesnt hop away. I use a helper to take the pics and I stand by the buns to make sure they dont hop off.

Cameras with closeup settings take the best pics of buns, because you can really see the nice details of the fur and whiskers.
