I mean photographed.... Not shot... Gotta watch my words when referring to photographing wildlife.
Yesterday, I was driving to a paid shoot here in Truckee, California when this beautiful sight caught my eye. So I backed up my ride, got the camera out, and fired off a few photos. In my opinion, it was totally worth being a couple minutes late to meet up with my clients. These mule deer were very busy eating the little bit of grass and didn't mind me being close. One of them looked up for a few seconds, but went right back to eating after checking me out. We had a couple big snow storms recently, so these deer seemed happy to find a little food exposed. It's that time of year where all the deer start making their way back up here, to higher elevations. Always fun to see!
Shot, I mean photographed... with a Canon R5 Mark II and a 24-105mm lens, set at 105mm. The ISO was 200, the lens aperture was f/14, and the sutter speed was 1/200 of a second. Handheld photo, no lens filters.
As always, prints are available on my website, www.TruckeeTahoePhotos.com.
Thank you for looking, and I hope you all see something cool and unexpected today!
