Nature Deer Pair

Deer Pair · 09:47 PM

Deer pair. I guess the one deer liked it so much she brought a friend back. Wow, hard to focus in the dark @ ISO6400, plus snowing. Really should set up a tripod but it might not help much since the deer are constantly moving. This time I tried out the Rokinon 85. Focus on the head of the deer on the right.

Next night, more showed up:

They didn't try to take off immediately? I would have figured they would scram when someone came out.

Lol, next time there will be ten of them

Great shot!

You're right. Years back there has been as many as 40 out there.

Out in the garage. I shot this through a window so I was pretty close, but not close enough to be totally outside

Your patience has been rewarded. I know how frustrating animals can be. I mean, did the one the left have to get half its head behind a tree? But as you said they are constantly moving. I have shots which I thought would be great and when I get to check them I find an ear at an odd angle or a tongue hanging out. But occasionally - just occasionally - I get an unexpected great shot (unfortunately it is usually when I have my 'glovebox' Fujifilm 1800s in my hand and not the K-01 or K10D) . I look forward to seeing continued progress.

Those look to be really well fed deer. If you feed them they will come. Keep trying.
