Fallow in the Woods
40D, 400/2.8, A-327 + BH1
ISO640, 1/200 @ f4.5.
ACR4.3 + CS3
Full frame

Hi, second day with the 40D and now I am impressed... we were supposed to have had snow today, the Met Office even issued a severe weather warning, so I set of to try and get images of the Fallow Deer in the snow....

Guess what.. no snow, just dull and grey, so I thought it would be a good chance to test the higher ISO's of the 40D (yes I do know that ISO640 is one of the 'fake' ratings but I was interested in what the results were... I was very pleased.

All the best

You have managed to get the deer to stand out well against the background.
Now how about something a little faster moving?? :wink:

Well done.

Ian :smile:

I wonder how long it will be before grain/noise is a thing of the past and we can shoot at any ISO,The 40D should be good for 800 before grain shows, Good looking male Deer and nice muted colours-Same amount of snow as we have here :biggrin:

Superb enviro shot. Something of interest everywhere in the picture but the deer still stands out beautifully.
