Hey there! by tara11

Hey there!

This guy was in our back yard this evening I went out to get some shots of my husband and sons burying our last guinea pig (RIP Shadow) and this buck and came along. I followed him trying different settings to get a good shot since it was right before dusk and low light. Anyway, I was happy that I got a couple of him looking at me and they were fairly focused. This is SOOC except for some cropping.

Have a great weekend!
Great focus and detail and a wonderful capture!!, also looks like he has not missed too many meals, looks very well fed!!...nice shot Tara!

I LOVE the intensity of the stare you captured. When I see a deer pic like this, I just hold my breath! terrific one!

@espyetta Thanks MB. It was fun chasing him down. I finally put it on motion mode to capture this one. I couldn't quite get the lighting and focus right. Plus, they were moving alot.

@tara11 I just noticed I just posted a "Hi Everybody!" and you posted a "Hey there!" haha We always do seem to be in the groove together!

@espyetta Funny, yes we do!
August 25th, 2012  
Amazing capture! its so cute!
August 25th, 2012  
Great shot!!!! Love how he is looking right at you! Sorry about your pet though! :(

Great job Tara! The bucks around here are very uneasy around people so it's hard to capture them. You did very well with the low light- and condolences to the boys on the passing of Shadow. )o:

@olivetreeann Thanks Ann, I was keeping my distance and as you can see he was watching me. Thanks also for the follow!

So sorry to hear about Shadow ... ((( hugs))) never easy to lose a much loved pet ♥
The shot is superb and wonderful detail ♥

Oh how wonderful! A beautiful shot. I think you were spotted xx

@aromatic Thanks Jane. We lost our other guinea pig in June, so not too surprising that shadow was close behind. Thanks for you kind comments.

@psychographer Yes, Lisa I definitely was but he didn't run. I just stood really still behind a tree :)

What a great catch. Beautiful and delicate looking beast.
