Pine kindergarten

Another nature picture from the Frontenac National Park (see the previous one). It gives a certain pleasure to use the telephoto lens. However, it is still difficult for me to operate the depth of field, so I chose a small aperture for this one and added bokeh in the post.

In the wild

It has to be the best "wild animal" picture I have ever taken in terms of sharpness, at least. It usually takes an enormous amount of patience to compose the image, check for sharpness and make sure the subject hasn't moved too much. Thankfully, Nikon 7100 has a lot better autofocus than my previous 5100.

This particular rabbit I spotted walking down La Tourbière trail in the Frontenac National Park in Quebec. I am guessing the animals there don't really feel threatened by humans. If they were, it would be gone before I even decided to set up my tripod.
