Photo of the Week! Fawn

Nikon D7000, Nikkor 300mm f2.8 w/TC14, ISO 640, f4.5, 1/1000, +1/3ev

Earlier this week I saw a couple of fawns in a field near my house. I went home grabbed my camera and heading out to the field. As I was walking through the tall grass I told myself to watch out for poison ivy. Well, of course I ended up with poison all over my knees and shins! I am happy with how the photos turned despite getting poison ivy.

Here is another late season buck from a couple of weeks ago. I can't wait for next fall to find this guy again!

I just had to post this photo! On a morning that I woke up to 5 inches of new snow, I needed to laugh at something.

This buck came a little too close for my 300mm lens. after this shot I quickly switched to my 70-200mm to get a full body shot.

I finally got my opportunity to shoot with my new Nikon D7000 this week. We watched a couple of coyotes walk across a frozen lake, but were not able to get any photos. Then we came across a large number of deer. After a short time this late season buck came walking out of the woods! It was a very impressive animal with a very broad set of antlers!

At the time, I didn't think this would be the last image I would make with my beloved Nikon D90. Just a few days after I made this image, I sold it to upgrade to a Nikon D7000!! Enough about that, I'm still amazed of the sharpness of the 300mm f2.8 with the 1.4x teleconveter attached.
