Went out this morning to try to get shots of buzzards I know have a nest in some dense woodland near my home. I realised that I was being watched by deer. Stalked them for a while after letting them settle. Moving carefully and never directly towards them kept them calm but eventually they were unnerved by the sound of the camera shutter and bolted. Only realised after a while that I had not changed the shutter speed or ISO so had to process the RAW files.

David: Very nice set Sir. I like the way the foreground is blurred as it seems like you were shooting thru some bushes or something.

Great captures.

Thanks for posting for all of us to enjoy

Hello Steve

That is exactly what I was doing, using the available cover. But they just know you are there.
