Thnks for your comments OldWolf, I had assumed that it was a color variant of an albino, but apparently not.

Thanks for the nice comment angela, and my wife thanks you.

Thanks for the comments Basil , my byword is, 'never stop learning'.

thanks photophile, yeah, the area is a literal jungle of photogenic dead trees.

I did not know the proper name for the odd coloration for this condition until I read today's previous post. My wife's caught this photo of a Mule deer with the leucistic anomaly. She captured this photo and several others April 28, 2016 while we were visiting in Canyonlands NP, in Utah. Her 60d camera had just run out of battery, so I swapped the one from my 5d3, thus she got the shot while I just watched. We later mentioned to ranger that we'd seen the deer, and was informed it had been hanging in the area for several weeks and wasn't spooky, so wife's shot was at a lot less than half mile, more like 75 yards.

Welcome fellow Minnesotan, tell us what area you're from, maybe we could join up and compare cameras, I'm a Canonite, myself [not the ancient biblical type though, don't want the feds mistakenly checking, thinking I have a restricted middle eastern background].

FYI, Roger does his magic once again in researching the relative sharpness of wide angle zooms across many brands. The results are a bit surprising. https://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2017/03/rogers-law-of-wide-zoom-relativity/

The other obvious convenience of course is, when using your camera in 'portrait' position the common controls are in the exact same apparent location as in 'landscape' position.

Here is a new stock photo site that some may be interested in. I do not know anything about it other than what I read in the intro. John

Perfect! I love it! Just what I needed to forward to an 85-yearold former trucker friend, LOL.

Great subjects, wish I'd been there in the midst of these great old warbirds. Now for a bit of critique, the first two are about correct exposure using the in-camera auto programing, but the rest, after you switched to 'manual' mode, appear to be mostly overexposed. Remember, in manual mode, the camera will produce the correct exposure only if you give it the correct parameters (shutter speed, aperture, ISO), check your histogram when in doubt. Take a look at your data from the first two and then compare with data from the remainder of pics. Or perhaps it was caused by something as simple as your accidentally selecting 'manual' mode in mid-shoot. Anyway, keep on trying and practicing, it only gets better. John

love the shot, my wife grows them inside, here in northern MN, but not in that color.

Take heart Jerry, one thing you can be certain of--it'll get worse before it gets better. John

Thanks for looking and the nice comment. John

Thanks for looking phlash, and the thumbs up. John
