Now that’s what I call a head shot, nice work Terry.

It’s nice when they walk up a pose as she did. She got curious because I wouldn’t move and just edged up close enough for the camera.

That one song comes to mind, “Isn’t she lovely?” by stevie wonder. Wow, I had a similar experince once… where the sound of the camera facinated the little buck and he just kept snorting and getting closer.. The experince was better than the photos! Beautiful shot!

She might have heard the camera at that. Also, I was standing right on a fence line getting some pictures of bluebirds and she might have thought I was an unusual fence post. Her Mom was 50 yards away, belly deep in alfalfa, not paying attention to either of us. So what do you shoot; the birds of the deer?

aullori,
I think so too. She’s one pretty little yearling!

skouba,
Thanks! Again, sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. With all the time I am spending in the woods, I should get lots of chances like this. I just missed a huge mulie buck today (a 6X6 in the velvet). He was big and old and got that way by being smart. I could have had him if I were hunting, but couldn’t get a camera shot.

Until I read one of your replies above about the deer being curious about you and the camera, I was going to ask if you had a 400mm telephoto lens!
Being up close (except when taking pix of grizzly bears) is probably more fun.

She came within 40 feet and almost completely circled me, then went back to browsing with her mother. I was able to slowly back out of there without spooking either one of them.
