    Default Fawns



    Canon 20D 70-200mm at 200mm F/4 1/320 sec ISO-400.

    This is a shot I took near my cabin in Utah. I would like to go back next spring and take more pictures of the fawns when they are young and would like some suggestions on how to do it better. I plan on either buying or renting a 300mm F/2.8 when I go though.

    Big Warm Welcome Stephen !!!

    You made a very nice image I like the framing and position in frame. Would have liked to have the second fawn turned more but I like the placement. Mom looks good in the back and has a good attentive pose. The image is well exposed and sharp. Also like going vertical !!!

    When you get your 300 do take advantage of the converters to isolate and maybe even head shots !!!

    Welcome aboard Stephen.

    Alfred had a good suggestion with the teleconverters. Realize that with the 20D, you will only have AF with the 1.4x TC. With the 2x TC you will be in manual focus.

    Given three animals in the same image, getting them all in a pleasing position with good eye contact is more difficult then one or two subjects, but continue to strive ti capture that moment. Remember that getting on the same plain as you subject (i.e. don't photograph down) enhances the intimacy of your images. Try not to get deep shadows on the deers when they turn there heads etc. Front light and moderate side light are most appealing.

    Good luck.
