Binkies - jumps of joy

A binky is easy to recognize. When bunnies are happy and confident, they like to binky. A binky is a funny and huge jump. They like to jump high and shake in the air. Some might think that they are ill and something is bothering them, but it is just their way to express how happy they are.
Since a binky is very quick and sudden movement, it is hard to get a proper photo of it. I am still struggling to get a good binky shot, but I have some adivse of how to get a good shot of a binky.

Use a camera. You will get a better shot if you take the photo with a camera instead of your phone. Not only does the photos come out in a better quality, but you can adjust the settings.

Adjust aperture and shutter speed. To freeze movement you need to use a high shutter speed. On all of the photos below I used 1/1000 shutter speed. A higher aperture will also make it easier to avoid a blurry photo. The lower the aperture is, the more blurry will the background be. Higher aperture will make more details in the photo. I used a very low aperture on the photos below, which is why many of them turned out blurry. A higher aperture would make them more clear.

Use the multiple photos function. When your camera takes several photos in a row, the chances of a good binky shot are higher.

The model in these pictures is named Muffin. ;)
