nature The King and His Girls

I caught this shot at lunch.. Canon 40D with 75-300mm zoomed all the

way, no tripod, no IS. I really can't wait to get a Canon 100mm-400mm

with IS. Looking for a good deal.:) I snuck up over the hill and got

as close as I could without them noticing me. One doe sort of noticed

me but wasn't sure and I froze. They started getting spooky but

weren't really sure if I was there. This was really getting fun. I was

two hundred yards down wind from this group and standing as still as

I could, they were really trying to see me. It was all I could do to

keep from laughing. I want to stake this field out in camo down in

the tall grass with a mono pod to get closer shots. It's hunting with

a Canon 40D, great sport. Thanks for looking. Comments welcome.

Yeah, the doe on the left had you pegged :-)... It's too bad the house is in the shot, but excellent detail for a hand held shot at that distance... good hunting! Mike

Looks like the "King" may have noticed you as well! This is a great shot for hand held. Good detail and pretty sharp!

Warm regards, Pamela

Michael and Pamela, thanks. I just picked up a new lens, 100-400mm with IS and I have been up to this spot several times now to try again and have not seen them. I'll catch them one of these times and try and get the shot without the house.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Regards, Mark.
