Sometimes I put my foot in it.
D7000 500mm f4 ISO 250 1/500s at f8 handheld lay prone lens resting on tussock for support.

Same hare as last post. Had a lengthy grooming session and I managed to get a shot as it cleaned its rear foot, big aren't they?

At the end of the grooming session it stretched and yawned whilst looking right at the camera and I missed it 'cos the camera was buffering after taking a series of shots. Boy was I upset and that's when you wish you had a pro body like the D4. I guess I am going to have to go back and try again!

Many thanks for all your comments on my last post, greatly appreciated.

Nick. :wavey:

Sucking someone else's toes can get you into trouble, so you may as well suck your own, if you are able to, of course!! :eek: :biggrin:
Excellent image Nick :wavey:
