Deer at dawn

I spotted this Texas whitetail doe and her big but still spotted fawn on my morning walk just at sunrise today. The scene was in shadow so exposure was 1/20th sec (ISO 400). I think the built-in viewfinder really helps steady the camera. I doubt image stabilization would work this well if I had to hold the camera away from my face.

 

Look, deer by tombarry975, on Flickr

Beautiful creatures in identical poses. What's with the bamboo? Is it cultivated in Texas?

Yep, that's bamboo. These neighbors grew it as a screen. Luckily, our neighborhood is so craggy and rocky that the bamboo doesn't spread enough to be bothersome.

Fine image Tom.

Like Brent, I was curious about the bamboo.

Any pandas in there?

Lovely.

Tom,

 

A marvelous capture with the deer posing as they did.  Great composition with the deer posed between the  trees.

Tom,

 

very nice catch. Yes, I admit I was also puzzled by the bamboo - but it looks lovely and makes the picture softer.

Your Immature Altamira Oriole? is a very compelling pic!
