As Day Ends

The sun had just dipped below the horizon.

I looked out one of the new windows in the dining area.  There in the twilight were the doe and her twin fawns.  The fawns have grown a lot in the last several months.  I went to the office and returned with camera in hand.  Mom and the fawns had separated enough that I couldn’t get all three in a single, useful image.  You know who I chose.

I’ve zoomed in a lot.  I’m hand holding the camera.  It takes four or five images and combines them to make it seem like full daylight.  (I did not manipulate these pix.)  It’s the multiple images that’s creating the blur.  I tried again.

Better results even though the subjects didn’t cooperate by standing still. 😀  These two have been so playful.  It has been a lot of fun to watch them run and jump and enjoy our lawn.

  1. You’re lucky to have the in your yard. 🙂 My house in Michigan had a mama and babies. She’s rest while they slept…but she never fully went to sleep. I thought that was sweet. 🙂

    • Lucky until they lunch on your yews and cedars or snack on your currant bushes. That’s bothersome, but we still enjoy watching the young ones as they play.

  2. If you have a ‘sport’ setting on your camera try that for future action shot. I have captured some really amazing images of my cats using that setting.

  3. Nice work, Chuck. It would be difficult with all that movement….We have seen more deer lately. I think that they may attracted to the corn field !!!
