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?


Now, that's very interesting. I didn't know you could do a double exposure on a digital camera. I don't do very much in the burst mode so I'm left totally confused. I'll read on to see what happened (I hope)

Well I suppose that used to be called a double exposure. However, that's not really supposed to be possible with digital media, or so I've heard. I'm definitely not the expert there. Looks like though your card could be headed on the downhill slide. Perhaps the last time you used the card and you deleted the previous images from it not all of the data left the card so when you wrote new pics on top of that the data collided. I think we usually call it a corrupted card and say to toss it and start using a new one.

It is possible to do multiple exposures with digital.

I have a D7100 that I still shoot action wildlife with, a couple things come to mind.
I see you shot with BBF focus, I assume you shoot in AF-C mode, if you shot in AF-S
mode this could be the outcome. When shooting BBF you must keep the BBF button
pressed to allow the camera to keep adjusting the focal distance.
Do you shoot with 'Focus Tracking with Lock-on', custom shooting menu A3 with my D7100.
I use this feature using 'Normal' setting 3.
It looks like you had a good initial focus but for some reason the camera lost focus. With the
conditions you were shooting in it looks like the camera didn't acquire focus again once it was lost.
The snow in the field and corn rows and the deer all blend together making focusing more
difficult for these conditions.

Looks like it ran into tree shadows.

It is not shadows, it is simply a double exposure happening in the camera, it's quite obvious because shadows look completely different. You can see by the rest of the image that there clearly is no direct sunlight anywhere in the image so it is a high partly cloudy sky but looks early in the morning and the sun looks obscured by the cloud are of the sky in front of it, so you are just getting a flat light effect over the entire image. Therefore, no where that could give tree shadows, it is simply a double exposure. Check camera settings and look through other tree files, you may find that exact image somewhere else, of the tree branches you see showing through the body of the deer.

A double exposure will really only show up in the darker section of the other image, therefore anything in bright white snow will not show the second image, but any shadowed areas of snow have a darker tone, which allows the second image to show through. This is most definitely not a natural shadow on the deer, nor is it a reflection from glass right in front of the lens, in case you were shooting through a closed window, because the reflection would be far too close to the lens for it to ever possibly be remotely rendered as a sharp image.

I have to agree, it looks like most double exposure images I have seen. After examining all the photos that were downloaded, I can't see that these are reflections in the deer's fur.

The deer's fur may have been wet.

As it came into the area where the stronger light through the trees hit it at the right angle this was possibly reflected back into the lens.

I know. It's been a year already since my mystery "Camo deer" photos were posted. I went back to the scene of the original pictures. The day may have been a touch sunnier than the originals. Truck window open on the first pic with the lens at 70mm. You can clearly see my drivers side mirror at this extension. Zoom the lens out to 300 mm for the balance of these pictures. Now I can't see the edge of the mirror, but I am seeing some of the mirrors reflections in the lower right hand side of the picture. Shooting center point focus I am seeing the field where the deer was last year but the mirror isn't visible through the view finder. As I panned left to right, this has to be what caused the branches to show up on the deer. I still don't know why the images showede up on the deer and not the field. Look at the first shot showing that stick at about 11 o'clock in the mirror. Now look at the next picture...same stick only larger and no frame showing. Alright, I somehow managed to get the 2nd frame loaded first. Just reverse them in your minds
