I did the best I could.

Woodland ParkMule Deer

  • The first day back at work after our return from the Alaska cruise, I saw this nice-looking specimen frolicking in the field adjacent to the office where I work.
  • People liked the preview shots, and I just want to show the scale of the actual photo. All the rest are crops.
  • Yes, all of these are crops. You can do that provided the photo is not blurred.
  • This particular fox had been crossing the road when it noticed me. It appeared to have an inordinate amount of interest in what I was doing . . .
  • . . . and at one point it even got up and started to walk toward my position.<br /> <br /> I was scared!! Nah, just kidding. I was hoping it would keep going, but it stopped when I moved toward it. I should have just waited.
  • Immediately after it continued into the field next to our office (I think it has a den there).
  • I like shots of animals in motion. They don't usually turn out, especially when - like in this instance - the subject is in the shade, I'm 100 yards away, and it's moving at a pretty good clip.
  • Still, as it got into the open the light improved, and I really like the result.

  • I used this shot in my November Calendar.
  • Or maybe it was this one. <br /> <br /> It is a nice-looking fox.
  • A week later, I got called to the front of the office . . . a small herd of deer was munching their way across the field.
  • The problem? It's early morning, and they are in the shade, with very brightly lit backgrounds.
  • I did the best I could.
