I’m working on a calendar for Luv-A-Bun Rabbit Rescue. I’ll tell you something: I think bunnies are about the hardest animals to photograph. They’re usually very skittish, don’t respond to funny noises, and aren’t food motivated at all out of their comfort zone. However, slowly but surely I’m figuring them out. Maybe I should be testing out techniques on my own bunnies, Thumper and Piper, every day. My subject for the day was to be Hero, the 18-lb Flemish Giant, but he quickly tired of me and my carrots and ran away to his hiding place for the day. I am brainstorming Hero-shoot ideas and will have to go back to see him.
As difficult as they are to photograph, it’s sure worth it when you get a picture you love because bunnies are simply adorable. This is Lizzy, a sweet blue-eyed girl.
And here is the lop-eared bunny, Justice. Don’t tell my straight-eared babies (just like we won’t tell my kitties about my fondness for calicos), but lop bunnies are my faaaavorite. Someday maybe I will get to adopt one, but until then, pictures will do.
Look forward to more bunny pictures soon! And if you happen to live in Broward County and have a bunny you would like to maybe see in the Luv-A-Bun 2011 calendar, drop me an email! I’m looking for some different bunnies in different locations without having to stress anyone out with travel. Thanks!!
