Came across this in the underbrush in Charlestown, RI this weekend. Just got around to unloading the camera. Come across them from time to time, particularly there, but rarely get such a good shot due to low lighting conditions. Thankfully the mother wasn't too close by, thus my head is still relatively attached to my body. I did say relatively.
Totally agree with the other posts, great shot. Very often these opportunist shots turn out to be award winners or used for some sort of advertising.
I generally carry my camera on the off chance of a shot like this. (Mind you there are no wild deer over here), But a stroll along the hedgerows or on the cliffs, you never know.
Keep posting shots like this. What gear do you use, anything professional?
Hi Colbtech,
Thanks a lot. I always have my camera with me when I hike. I try to have it in the car most of the time as well. Anytime I don't bring it, I always regret it, because I inevitably end up seeing something great.
I just use a relatively inexpensive digital camera. Right now I'm using a Fujifilm S5100 with a 370mm lens. It's the best camera I've had in quite some time.
I have been attempting to market framed prints from time to time, really haven't entered contests though. Took 4th in the one that I did, sponsored by the CT Audubon Society (a wildlife and land preservation organization here in the US) and a local photography club.
I was just on my way out at the end of my hike, when I saw this deer out of the corner of my eye. Definitely a lucky shot. I rarely get such a good picture of one.
A few years back I used to have a Canon EOS600 with 24-70 and 70-210. Then it got too expensive with developing, etc (especially after a few weeks of holiday).
Bought a Pentax Optio 5Mp digital camera. Best move ever, wouldn't mind moving back to the Canon SLR digital cameras though.
I started off with a standard SLR camera -- can't for the life of me remember what brand -- and mostly used a 70-300mm lens. After that, I went through quite a few digital cameras. Was a big fan of Olympus for a while. I've never owned a digital SLR. I agree though, I went through way too much film without getting enough good shots to justify the expense. I love working in digital. What do you like to photograph? I mostly do nature, some scenic stuff like barns and covered bridges.
