A few deer shots from today. At least the grass didn't get in the way of all of them!

Nice helicopter shots and Denise your stuff gets better and better.
Here is an edited shot I took of someone I stopped and asked if I could take their photo, she was less nervous about it than I was.

Wonderful shot, Steve!! I wish I could work up the courage to ask people if I could take their photo! The b&w on this one looks really good!
Today was a really dark, gloomy day so this shot is much noisier than I would like. Also, the deer are really starting to get too close for my comfort! I have gotten pretty freaked out a few times by mama deer coming at me a tad too quickly! From now on though, I think I need to bring much shorter lenses!

Biodiversity Portal of Singapore has asked me to put one of my other deer photos on their website. Only problem is, I have to include text about white-tailed deer (200 words or less). Guess I better brush up on my knowledge of them other than that they like to get their pictures taken ...LOL!

Congrats Denise! One word: Wikipedia. They sure do like posing - in my neck of the woods the white-tail won't let you get within a couple hundred yards!
Thank you! Oh goodness, a few hundred yards!? In this park there are hundreds of deer and they will pretty much walk within a few feet of you (closer if you let them)! I've had one walk right along side me down the road in the park. There have just been so many people feeding them when they shouldn't be that most of them don't fear humans. I would like to get a nice shot of a buck but I haven't spotted one yet.
Hmm, I'm with you - as a biologist, I don't agree with feeding them but they sure are beautiful animals.
On the other hand, the mule deer around here usually will let you get pretty close 20 - 30'.
About waiting for a buck....at this time of year, they're starting to shed their antlers. Apparently anywhere from January - April then they start growing the next set over the spring/summer/fall. Then you'd have to wait for september/october...But good luck!
Here's a shot from a few Christmases ago. Taken with my old Rebel XT and the kit 55-200 @200.....not the best lens or pic but it sure was exciting sneaking up on this guy...! My heart was pounding so hard I wished that I had 4-stop IS on this plastic zoom, lol

When you are good looking and friendly it's easy to go up to strangers and ask to take their photo.... I don't know how I get away with it.
This is the shot I started with before I gave it all that grainy B&W treatment. Did I ruin it or not?
Thanks for viewing.

Steve: I like your B&W treatment. No I don't think you ruined it at all.
@ Steve - I very much prefer the b&w version and the application you used is outstanding!
