Default Another evening with bambi

These little %@#!!*&%$## son of a gun's are harder to get pics of than a flying bird. Slow shutter speeds and the fact they never stand still for more than a couple seconds, is driving me nuts! I took about 100 shots and got about 6 or 7 good one's.

The good news is , the little one's are following mom and are starting to show themselves. I saw 5 diff. bambi's this time.

New pictures by "The Deer Whisperer"! The 6 or 7 you have are superb and worthy of the effort it took to get them. Amazingly well done!

Dappled deer in dappled sunlight. Oh, my goodness. You are leading a charmed life. Looking forward to the book because you are "writing the book" on deer photography.

Great shots, I caught a few this morning. Did you sharpen them or do something else to them -- something does not look natural particularly in the last one??

these shots are "top drawer" I will definitely be picking your brain for tips on wildlife shots as I'm off on safari this summer
