BLOWING SNOW

 

Not ideal wildlife photography conditions 

Wednesday 1st February. 

Another rough, wild and snowy day in the Monadhliath. 

Deena & Knut on day 3 of their Mountain Hare Photography hholiday.

Wind driven snow and cameras dont mix 

Slightly calmer by mid afternoon 

The morning sunshine from below was very deceiving. Once on the hill the strong winds were blowing a lot of snow around. Poor visibility to photograph the beautiful hares. A huge part of photographing these creatures is fieldcraft. The hares want to see you from a distance before they are relaxed and know you are not a threat. Unfortunately we missed out on 2 hares who shot off in the billowing snow flying around.

The photos don't really show how flying snow hinders visibility. 

Not to worry, they have 2 more days for Mountain Hare moments.
