Default Captured at last - BUT

On the cautious drive up the half mile snow bound driveway at work last week, I was delighted by two deer crossing the driveway & jumping over the fence just in front of the car. This happened two morning running - so trusting in the bus phenomena ( 3 arrive at a time). The next morning I put my camera on the passenger seat before leaving home & set off to work. There was a lone deer crossing the driveway (you can never tell where they will cross & they dash out of the cover of the trees - I stopped, wound down the window & got off 1 picture but to my dismay I could hear that the shutter speed was some what slow, it was in fact 1/6 sec. - there is no IS that good !

So here is the one that almost got away - I did toy with the idea of some heavy duty PP, but here is the result as taken

Next time I trust I'm better prepared

Winter-11

I'm sure it happen more than once to all of us at one time. I've done it. But you still got the shot off. These are the shot's that you'll remember. It's a learning experience. I'll bet tomorrow morning if see this deer you'll be ready.

Oh, deer! -- I mean, "Dear!" Yes, now that we have these modern technically sophisticated cameras with a myriad of settings, it's just easier to make a mistake.

Not to worry you will get the perfect capture sooner or later.
Just be patient.
