Mountain hare in backlit spindrift – I talked earlier today about the benefits of using a dark background to highlight backlighting and the same principle has been used here. Lying alone at the bottom of a large ice field I was in the company of a hare that I got to know quite well, a hare that we had named Grouse. Grouse it’s fair to say is not the most active hare and, more than any other that I have worked with Grouse requires the most significant investment of time, effort, patience and hand warmers! The wind on this day was bitingly cold and both I and my camera were facing it head on. Fortunately I was using the Canon 1DX Mk II and a 200-400mm lens which seemed immune to fogging, unlike my previously mardy Nikon 200-400mm which would fog up if found anywhere near the smallest amount of moisture. On this occasion however, even though the front element was getting intermittently covered in snow it faced the challenge relentlessly. Nevertheless the resulting images which I was taking a fast shutter speed just weren’t delivering the kind of image that I always hope for, one that accurately and effectively replicates the conditions. Reducing my ISO down to 100 and my aperture to F13 however gave me a shutter speed of 1/125sec and this was enough to start showing the movement of the snow and increasing the atmosphere of the image. I also like the way that grouse is formed into an almost perfect ball, ringed by rim light and sitting tight until the worst of the weather is over. If you’d like to meet Grouse and the other hares which I have come to know over the years then please email me at tours@andrewparkinson.com to see what availability I have for this coming February-March when I’ll be back up in Scotland for 5 weeks.
