White Tailed Deer

It is nice to see wild deers crossing in front of My truck during My way to work in a country roads, they are very curious and some times You can get so close to them like this time. I just grab My camera out, and took some photos from the right window. They really didnt care to much about My presence, but I guess the "Click" sound of the camera call they attention, finally they just run and disappear, but I enjoy a lot such moment.
Hope You like this photo as mucha as I do.
Saludos

Hola Primo,

It's fine when they cross in front of your car during the day but in the dark it can be a disaster for car, driver and deer. We only have Mule Deer here but the behavior must be about the same. They are usually willing to pose for as long as the camera is on them. Lovely shot in a natural setting which looks quite familiar to me.

I know EXACTLY what you are talking about. In my wilderness I would see them daily and be so close....but if I did some odd thing, not sure what it would be...they wold all take off right away and I could never make a connection.....Very gentle image Luis...I hope your country is treating you as a hero photographer!!!

Hola Luis

Bueno creo que es un momento poco habitual, que estos ciercos al verte no se marchan, debe ser que están habituados a ver vehículos que solo van de paso, y que el clic de la cámara no los ahuyente.
La imagen es correcta y agradable la mirada de los animales.

Un saludo Antonio

Hi Luis.
It is wonderful that your road to work is such interesting and gifts you opportunity to take so cute shots. My way to work is too different :). Pictured scene is fine and details of the deers and surroundings are superb. I also am impressed with their curious glances and elegant poses. Lovely natural shot. TFS and kind regards.
Alexei.

P.S. Concerning my last post. They were first minutes of 50 mm lens use. And it is first so short lens on FF camera. Aperture value is really too small for this lens and for this scene. Now (after hundreds shots) I understand it.
