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.

on December 19, 2006What 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!

on December 18, 2006Thanks 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!

on December 18, 2006As 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!

on December 17, 2006WOW! 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!!!

on December 17, 2006Wonderful 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.

on December 17, 2006Dear 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.
