Driving around looking for what ever, Don says 'deer always come out of that woods about dusk'. As if by magic there they were:-)
These guys were about 200-250 yards out so a real stretch, shutter was 1/80. Luck is a wonderful thing.

  • Dec 31st<br /> <br /> Have a safe and fun New Years eve. Best wishs, with lots of love, heath and happiness, money doesn't hurt either..In the New Year.<br /> <br /> Just think of this as a conifers impersonation of a fireworks display:-)
  • Dec 30th<br /> <br /> Ducks outa water.<br /> <br /> Boring but I like it:-)<br /> <br /> 3 more duckie shots<br /> <br /> <a href="http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/2028713/7/119886552/Large">http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/2028713/7/119886552/Large</a>

  • Dec 26th<br /> <br /> Now back to our regularly scheduled program..<br /> <br /> Mallard pair on a muskrat den.<br /> <br /> I was told last summer we had a wetlands in the village. Knowing our village I figured a mud puddle and a couple cat tails. Oh how wrong could I have been?! Not large but it is protected and extremely nice.
  • Dec 25th<br /> <br /> Mom's pound pup Sox

  • Dec 15th<br /> <br /> Like this shot, maybe just because I like the houses. Both are the style one would see more in NO, tall and narrow with balconies on both floors, tall narrow windows. Really cool. Why they are built where they are is just nuts.<br /> <br /> Did actually get a shot of a sq in motion that didn't blur, which I like.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1762949/10/117093449/Large">http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1762949/10/117093449/Large</a>
  • Dec 14th<br /> <br /> For being such good little models I thought a family portrait would be nice:-) Yea more gull shots yeasterday.
  • Dec. 13th<br /> <br /> Not great but I'll take it. Sometimes just getting the EC dialed in right makes my day:-)
  • Dec 11th<br /> <br /> More BIF practice. Don's fav so it gets the call.<br /> <br /> More 'correct shot' no clipped wing tips:-)<br /> <br /> <a href="http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/2028713/6/116278912">http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/2028713/6/116278912</a>

    What a sweet capture! I doubt it's luck, more like skill to me. Nice that they are all so nicely lit and focusing on you!

    Thanks much everyone. I'm still a bit in shock I pulled this one off. Out of nine frames 2 where sorta ok, this one, and the rest hit the trash:-)

    Thanks again!

    As I have always said, you are amazing at how well you can hold those lenses. If you were a guy with big strong arms, I'd kind of expect it, but how you hand hold those whoppers with your tiny frame is a gift, and an amazement. This is beautiful...and with the old jeep idling...incredible!

    WOW! My son is out hunting right this very moment with it being the last day of rifle season... he would jump for joy to see a scene like this one. I must say I'm glad you captured it (such beautiful comp) instead of him running across it :-) Of course a freezer full is always nice but the portrait will look GREAT hanging on your wall. Great Capture!!!

    Wonderful shot, I've been trying to get do a similar one for ages but with now joy. I just like the second deer and the way he just peeping over the shoulder of the first one.

    Dear Santa: I have been a good boy this year and want a very large and heavy hunk of glass that will fit on the end of my camera. I know that being Santa you are capable such simple things, but here is the hard part I want you to give me the uncanny ability to hold this hunk of glass so steady that I am a human tripod. Thanks Santa ------


    You say luck I say skill. NICE and NICE and NICE and NICE.
