I didn't see any hares, just a few butterflies but the pictures weren't very good.I notice your pictures are attached as a thumbnail, I don't know why but that might be why the settings don't show. My pictures are saved on my computer as JPEG's, from there I click on the insert image icon 3rd from the right and insert image from computer. I do one image at a time and space them out. That works for me.As for the settings I mentioned they're just a suggestion and you might find others work better. I generally shoot in aperture priority and adjust my ISO manually. If the light allows I will shoot at ISO 100 but increase that if I need a faster shutter speed or if it gets cloudy. How high you will be able to increase the ISO depends on your camera and how much noise you can tolerate in your photos.There is a rule of thumb for shutter speed and focal length. Others will describe it better but essentially your minimum shutter speed should be 1/focal length. So for your lens at 300mm a minimum would be 1/300 second. Or for your lens at 70mm 1/70 second. This helps avoid blurred images from camera shake. So I shoot in A from f/8 - f/11, adjust my ISO to keep the shutter speed where I need it and I don't zoom right into 300mm as that makes my images softer.</blockquote>
