Default A 60 second 1 chance Silhouette shot with no PP...

Driving home this evening with sun nearly down we came across a heard of red deer that had been spooked probably by my screeeeching brakes on my truck, spun around jumped out and click, this is what I ended up with plus a couple more of two deer as they ran off as spooked deer normally do. This photo was only cropped slightly and has not had any PP apart from the cropping.




A silhouette straight from the camera

Thanks for viewing, cheers Steve.

PS: No accidents happened on this shoot.

You caught them real good Steve. Moral - never be without your camera. Glad there were no pile-up's. PAUL

Thanks Barry for your comments, this took place heading up the Kaimai ranges Bay of Plenty region around 7.45 pm and lucky there wasn't much traffic, as we had to do a Uturn in the middle of the road and run over to take the shot, took 60 seconds and was done, cheers Steve.

Another shot with the last two left, had to zoom in for this one, one appears to have only three legs, did not know until they were uploaded, cheers Steve.

Another shot with two deer

Thanks for viewing.
