Mountain hare foot stretching –This image is a salient reminder that even the most mundane or average encounter can, with a little bit of luck, yield surprisingly interesting results. It was also one of those rare occasions where I wished that I had either a tripod or a monopod with which to work though such occasions for me in the mountains are few and far between. I generally find tripods to be quite unwieldy, limiting my flexibility and responsiveness but this is worth noting that these feelings apply only to when I’m shooting in the mountains, at other times tripods are an absolute essential. The hare meanwhile is one that I and a number of other photographers know very well, a hare by the name of Mrs Grey and an individual that approached respectfully and cautiously can be incredibly confiding. On this day she was sitting on a favoured elevated perch but as is so often the case with mountain hares there were extended periods of inactivity interspersed with very brief moments of grooming, stretching or feeding. In order to shoot at eye level I was actually standing close by but, shooting with a weighty 200-400mm lens I was unable to simply stand there holding this heavy lens to my eye. Instead I simply held it near to my waist and then, if and when Mr Grey did decide to do something then I could slowly raise it at the appropriate time. Such techniques are not exactly ideal and I’d have much preferred to have simply stood stock still with my eye permanently against the viewfinder of my tripod/monopod supported camera and lens but this was not to be. Instead I was confronted with the frustration of burning arms and heavy breathing as I tried in vain to resist the fatigue that can occur when handholding. The resulting image therefore was captured much more by luck than judgement, fortuitous timing as opposed to intelligent planning, an image nonetheless that I felt pleased to capture. @andyparkinsonphoto @thephotosociety
