What An Exciting Time!


What an exciting time this was. When this little fawn came up on the three of us it was probably the highlight of the trip. This was in the Hicks Run area again, most things I read or heard about Elk County would have put us on Winslow Hill most of the time, but we really liked Hicks Run. There was such an assortment of wildlife and a large quantity of white tail deer to be seen there.

We seen this same fawn two or three times. I don't know if it's mother was hiding nearby or if she was on her own. Each time we seen her she was alone and it was very early morning or late night. What you can't tell in this photograph is that it is very close to getting dark. This was shot at a high ISO and a slow shutter speed to capture the fawn. The shutter speed was so slow that most of the photos were deleted after downloading because they were blurry.

You will see this little one again in the future.

Very nice Brad...it looks like it came pretty close, what distance was that?....

It was pretty close Rich but it was still shot at 600mm. Like I said it was almost dark you just can't tell to look at it. It was ISO 2000, 1/25 sec at 5.6 hand held.

I did get closer but that was early in the morning when it was completely dark, it walked up to me and scared the crap out of me before I realized it was the fawn.

If I only had one photo from a trip and this was it, I would say the trip was a complete success.

Terrific photograph.

Look at those eyes.

Yes, Mama was nearby saying, "I told you not to stand out in the open like that!".

Well done,
Troy

This is really nice work on the fawn! They just don't get any prettier than your second shot.

Good work on the elk also, I'm looking forward to going up and shooting the rut for a few days with Willard next month.
