I found this specimen at the Bird and Butterfly Garden in the Tijuanna River Open Space Preserve south of San Diego. And what can you say, really, about such an image? The rabbit was there, ideally placed in good light, posing as I approached. I simply had to take the shot. I took my first shot at as soon as the rabbit comfortably filled the frame.

And then I continued walking closer until I got the portrait shot. Easy. Both shots 1200mm equivalent field of view.

Canon SX50HS. Program with iContrast and Auto Shadow Fill. –1/3EV exposure compensation. f6.5 @ 1/500th and 1/1000th @ ISO 800. Processed in Lightroom for intensity, clarity, and sharpness. On a technical note: I am really coming to appreciate the fact that I can just leave the Canon SX50HS on auto ISO, and let it run ISO up as high as is needed when the zoom gets long. Image quality at ISO 800 is as good as ISO 200 was a few years ago. Better, actually.
