Cottontails are easier to photograph than birds, but since I’m unaccustomed to it, I feel self-conscious about it.

@vivian no need to apologize! I’ve thought about doing something like that, but I don’t think I’ve developed the skill set to do it consistently. I sometimes try to include commentary with a photo if I think the process might be interesting or helpful and I’ll keep it in mind for the future.

@Jgbird I don't think there's any avoiding the self-consciousness, so all that's left is to embrace it, and hopefully enjoy the learning process of stepping outside comfort zone ️

@Jgbird This is a great photo! I'd definitely appreciate a blog or something similar on which you document the process to get to each photo (and your thoughts upon publishing it)!
Edit: I'm sorry! What I suggested above would be a lot of (extra) work, and I wouldn't want you to waste time on that. I appreciate your photos, and one can see how much care you put into making every single one.
