Aside from the fact that I can't for the life of me grasp the rabbit role in the Easter story (let alone them critters hiding the eggs around the garden), these chocolate "rabbits" really look like an alien sort I would not like to see in my garden or elsewhere! Gives me creeps!
Now, the commerce being whatever it is now'days... okay, they will try to sell you anything... but these choco-wabbits look really horrible, in my eyes.
If I was a kid, I would never want to be gifted an ominous figure looking like a bad dream - whatever the traditional lies they arrange behind it!
Can't the folks making these molds come up with anything better?... Oh, gods... ;)

Behind The Lens

Location

These chocolate rabbits are arranged along the balcony railing, as it ensures a faraway background - something inconsequent for the theme at hand. Also, the color contrasting was adequate, since the golden hues were augmented by the use of flash.

Time

Date/Time Original, Exif says, was 15-Apr-23 @ 17:40:38

Lighting

I left this decision to the camera and it has chosen Shutter Speed of 1/320 sec, f/4, ISO 100, 0.00 eV, Metering Mode was Center weighted average, Flash was On, fired, the Focal Length at 9 mm, with White Balance set at Auto, meaning Daylight. That's it!

Equipment

A Sony DSC-RX100M7 was used, out of hand. No add-ons were needed.

Inspiration

You all know the destiny of such chocolate pieces - contained in usual Easter packages! Now if there are no children around, chocolate bunnies can stay around for a long time. But if you use them for photo decoration, better eat them afterwards, before the chocolate gets too old. :)

Editing

Far as I can remember, only the cropping was required to keep the theme tight within the frame. All else was correctly done by the camera. No big deal... :)

In my camera bag

For decades already I find it easier to carry a photo vest than any photo bag. It is more than enough to take along whatever I want or need for my photo session, walk or trip. My photo bags usually stay home or in the car, to keep the equipment I'm not using at the moment. The tripod has its permanent place in the car. My vest pockets usually contain two cameras. Regardless of which is the "main" camera, one of those is always some waterproof model, if the weather plays up or when I find something interesting in the shallows. Nowadays I usually use Nikon P900 or Sony RX100m7, and the waterproof backup is an Olympus TG-2 or a Paralenz DiveCam. Other vest pockets keep the spare batteries, ND and CPL filters, and one small camera clamp which can be fixed to almost anything. In many cases this can replace a tripod. The vest has deep pockets for longer lenses, and these usually hold a small water bottle, a sandwich, or a bar of chocolate - if I plan on being out for the whole day. I always pack about three meters length of paracord or similar strong, thin rope, one hefty pocket knife, and a lighter. Much can be improvised with these if need be. Recently I made it even easier, and take the essentials along in a waist pouch; one variable-volume McKinley. In the Outdoors, simplicity and comfort are my most important requirements!

Feedback

There is myriads of ways you can use any props in your photos, and thus usable and unusable advices! Let your imagination run free, and it will suffice - as long as you enjoy doing it! :)
