My first deer shots

[jcdeboever]

Definately not @coastalconn material but I did the best I could for being a deer virgin. Went and drove around on golf course to day looking for stuff. Found these youngsters roaming around. Couldn't get real close to them, had to give them their space. I froze my onion sack off out there, dress better next time. D7200 / Sigma 150-600.

1. Young buck on a hill

2. Oh, I see you there...

3. Uuum, I'm too young for dinner.

4. What's that sound behind me?

Focus on the first was a just missed it looks like, or movement got you. The others are much better with the 2nd being my favorite.

Thanks, yeah, it moved and it was overcast and didn't have iso bumped up enough for faster shutter. Hey first try, live and learn.

Can't figure out how to change the title.

Very beautiful pictures. Not evident when the deer moved... The Sigma is pretty sharp

Side note: you mis-typed deer in the title, I was thinking I was going to see shots of an insect repellent.

At the top, just above the colored stripe on the tread near the un-watch and post new thread buttons is thread tools, use the title edit one.

Thanks you all. Trying to figure out what works best in terms of focus area, 9pt, 20pt, 51 pt. Still not sure, as this is all new to me (D7200). Hand held, had it on AF-C, f/6.3, 100s, ISO 800, 500mm+ reach, matrix metering, 9pt. I should have juiced the ISO as it was overcast and I was under the tree canopy. It doesn't nail focus at f/6.3 like it does at f/8. Still working on it.

I am but it is more sophisticated than the D3300 and well, I'm not that sophisticated...

If I had looked at the pics before reading the title and post, I would have figured you were an old deer ho

I definitely like #2 best. Unusual pose.

No point in C&C on any of these, because you already know about the problems and how to fix them.
It is a nice set, I really like number 2.
