Tough Buck

[micpic]

I've been watching this buck for a couple of weeks. He has his share of scar's but seems to be able to hold on to his Harem of four does.

I should have had my ISO cranked up, but as you can see in the background there was alot of sun. Not at the moment where I got my shot.

Beautiful looking deer! Nice work micpic!

Sweet pose, micpic. Nice work.

No need to ramp up iso if iso200 and 1/125 at f5.6 with the IS was enough to get you a sharp shot. And this looks sharp. Only reason to crank up iso in a case like this is if there's not enough light for you to hold steady at your shutter speed, and you did very well here.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked the shot. I really like your imput Steve, it helps alot. This was a time when both the deer and me suprised each other, so my first thought is get the image no matter what my settings are and by the time I got them changed all I could get was a big white tail.

Hey,that's a nice shot! It looks like that new fangled camera thingy is serving you well. Give that 50D a dunk in the river-I wanna know how water resistant it is.

I saw plenty of deer these last couple days, but nothing this grand.
