A smattering from the weekend

Weather was pretty bad here sunday, thunderstorms and some tornado warnings, so really didn't get out and about as much as I usually do but I managed to grab a couple of shots.

Also managed to get a quick snap of this deer. The shot itself is your fairly standard wildlife portrait kind of thing - the amazing thing for me on this shot was the distance involved. This was shot at 140 mm.

Were these in the zoo? The first two are stunning shots, and the third one too. I can see you doing a lot of damage with a longer lens.

Nope, no zoo shots on Sunday. These were all shot at a lake at a nearby state park. The deer came out of the trees behind me while I was shooting some birds at the lake, I had the 70-200 mm with the 2x teleconverter mounted and she got so close I actually had to back up to get her entire head in the shot.

Crane running across water = excellent!

Thanks Brian. As it is I was just lucky that deer wasn't of the man eating variety or I might have been in really serious trouble.. lol
