What happened to these images of a running deer?

On the other hand, you could have found one of the elusive chameleon deer.

Branch shadows will not have white behind them unless the surface they are seen on is reflective.

I shoot lots of pictures of wildlife near my home in Indiana. I shot a burst of a deer about mid afternoon on Jan 7th. The first two frames attached here look pretty normal. The next two look like ??? Like the deer is fading from sight and there is what looks like branches or shadows of branches overlayed on the deer. These four frames were a sequential part of a burst from my D7200. BBF, ISO 800, f8,1/800. Can anyone explain to me what happened here?
It's either a deer testing out its cloaking device, or it's shifting to a parallel universe and you managed to capture the moment.

Best answer.

There was a bright sky behind the photographer. It's the same effect as using a gobo in a studio. The bright areas and shadows can also be seen in places on the ground.

So it's normal for sky to be reflected on the deer fur?

The sunlight in the sky is being reflected off the deer and everything else in the photo. If it wasn't, the deer and everything else in the photo would appear to be black.

I've never seen sky reflected on animal fur.

I'm looking at some brown trees out of my window right now. The color of the trees is close to the color of the deer. The bark also has a rough texture. The sunlight is mottled because the sun is shining through a lot of branches. There are brighter and darker areas on those trees. I can see shadows of branches on the trees.

Branch shadows yes, an you see sky on the deer?

The trees I'm looking at right now have very bright areas where the sunlight is not blocked by other trees and branches. There are darker areas on those trees where tree trunks and branches are blocking the sunlight.
You haven't supplied your answer to the photos the OP posted. What is your theory?

This a rather rare condition. The deer is phasing into a parallel universe. I've seen that happen only once before - after a considerable amount of drinking.
This phasing explains why you cannot find something, even though you knew you left it on the table, etc. Things phase out, and then they phase back. I wind up buying replacements, rather than waiting for the item to return.

When you did a considerable amount of drinking was Rod Serling the bartender? Asking for a friend.
Your 2nd paragraph is completely true. I often misplace my eyeglasses only to have my wife tell me, again, they are on my face.

I have no theory, and I will not guess.

Come on now - we all know the truth here! The deer is being beamed up to the Enterprise!
