Good point: I have the technology to do that! It's as good as done!



When I was taking the shot and lying still on the grass bank waiting for the wind to subside I was suddenly aware of a fully grown Brown Hare just 4m away, I was that still he had not noticed me, but with the camera on the tripod with an ultra wide lens pointing at the orchids there was no chance of getting a photo of the hare before he bounded of up the hill. But it was a marvellous moment.

I actually took it and had a play with losing it just to see if it was poss and found it was - when that is gone this is a winning image!
