Photography tip: When taking pictures of close up flowers, set your Digital SLR camera to macro mode (for beginners), or to the recommended settings in manual mode (for advanced photographers). I say recommended settings because I've never taken a photography class and I haven't messed with the manual mode stuff a lot either. XD If you thought I was an experienced photographer, I'm sorry to prove you wrong. LOL

这是一个兔子 (Lepus)。
Photography tip: Rabbits get scared way easily. If you have time, set up your tripod and zoom your camera. If you don't have time to set up your tripod, zoom and take picture after you steady your hands. I suggest you use a Digital SLR for animal photography. You'd have way better luck than a regular camera. Always take multiple shots!

Don't have a Digital SLR? Why not check out the list here!
