A Bunny for Breakfast!

Not to eat, just to photograph.  We are overrun with bunnies this year.  This particular one came to the kitchen, so I pulled out my camera.  Here is the best shot with my 28-135mm lens:

ISO 100 135mm f/5.6 1/10

Since the bunny was being cooperative and moving closer to the window, I decided to switch to the 50mm lens.  I thought it would be sharper:

ISO 100 50mm f/2.8 1/100

I think it is sharper, what do you think?  It is a bit hazy from the window though.  I probably should have stepped closer to the window to cut the haze.

Cheers!

I AM SO OUT OF HERE!

Lens Comparison with a Red-Tailed Hawk

In part I am writing this post because unlike my other lens comparison posts lately I end up liking the 50mm lens result instead of the 28-135mm lens.  In my other two posts I used a Great Horned Owl and a Bald Eagle as a model, today I use a Red-Tailed Hawk.  I ended up not liking the closer up view, in part because it is just not sharp enough.  The 50mm lens was a sharper result, but I would crop the image if I was going to edit it.  The 28-135mm picture is first. In both pictures I used a tripod and custom white balance. Here they are, what do you think?

ISO 100 1355 f/7.1 1/6

ISO 100 50mm f/14 1/6

Cheers!
