August 20th, 2009

So I head out this morning to search in the back yard for today's image of the day and come face to face with this deer . . . It's low light and all I have on the camera is my 50mm prime. I am like 30 feet away from her when she spots me and freezes. I bring the camera up to my eye, resolving to get as close as I can before she bolts. I begin taking baby steps towards her, snapping each and every step as I go. I finally got within 10 feet or so when she decides enough is enough and dashes into the woods . . . but I got a nice tight shot before she does! Even got those great catch lights in her eyes!

Captured this with the 50mm prime at a 40th of a second with f2.8 as my aperture. ISO is at 200.
