Yosemite Deer

This is a Mule Deer taken in Yosemite NP, They are quite tame and you can get very close to them, I watched a deer near a trail so slowly made my way until near and layed down on the trail and the deer casually walked past me, El Capitan is in the background

Canon 1D3 16-35F2.8 @26MM 1/80@F 5.6 -1/3

hi dave,

i'm enjoying these images of your trip. i like the angle and the dynamics of the shot really draw you in. it's a shame that tree is interrupting the horns. maybe you could close that out? or have you got a later shot when it's walked past that point?

regards,

mark

I agree with Mark.................REALLY effective shooting angle Dave {and use of the short lens}.

Great setting, and a fine pose captured from the deer

Hi Dave

Great shooting angle, pose and backdrop. I think Yosemite is one of the best locations I have ever visited!

Greeting Dave

Good to see the variety of shots, like the pose on this one, very 'Deer hunter'. Still like the otter :-)

Want a bag man for the end of the month? Talk soon.

Steve

Thanks for the comments
David yes i agree a very special place, I have already booked the flights for next month and hope that there should be some snow, California for 2 weeks and a week in North Carolina so chalk and cheese photographically

Hi Dave a cool image very nice.

Phillip.

Like it a lot

This must be pretty much right on top of you Dave. Tried photographing a cow a few weeks ago and looking through the viewfinder at 17mm, the cow looked miles away. It wasn't until it licked my lens that I realised I was a bit too close

Nice work and I love these angles

Hi Dave

Good clear well shot image
