    Default Key Deer



    Backing off a bit from the extreme close-up Key Deer portrait that I posted a couple weeks ago...here is another endangered Odocoileus virginianus clavium in the Florida Keys. I wanted to show a little native Florida habitat.

    Canon 5D, 70-200mm @ 115mm
    1/100, f/5.6, ISO 800, flash

    I really like these short focal lenght wildlife photographs.....and this is no exception. I only wonder if this wouldn't have been nicer at a lower angle. Also I'm not a big fan of the fill-flash... it looks a bit unnatural to me.

    Judd,

    I like the deer's look and inclusion of the habitat great. The flash is not objectionable to me but noticeable to the trained eye. I would have preferred not seeing the grass over the butt pointing at the ear.

    Hi Judd I like it a lot !!!

    I think if you darken the corners a bit the eye will be drawn to the center and will make the fill flash more natural !!! Love them little guys !!!

    Thanks for the suggestions. I seldom use flash, but had to give it a try to pull anything off in these conditions (it was nearly dark). Believe it or not I was on my knees and actually crouching lower when I took this image...they are just so short. I'll try to get even lower next time.

    This little guy has a priceless expression and stance- I could see an article in "Ranger Rick" about it with this photo. :cool::cool:

    Next time I guess you'll have to lie on the ground if you want a lower angle of view!! :eek: This one looks fine to me.:)
