Caught at Last

Uploaded: January 09, 2006

Description

I have been trying to capture one of these two rascals for several days. Their feeding schedule has been very predictable but each time I got close enough to get a good shot, they scattered. This is the first good picture I finally caught of one of them. AV=20, TV=1/4 second, ISO=200, Canon 100-300mm lens, normal white balance, basic black and white level adjustments

Wayne congratualtions on your capture. Patience is a big requirement in wildlife photography, and it ceratinly paid off for you. Well done, great shot, and nice composition. #372006

Thanks Rich. I also had decent and low sunlight for good color and no shadows from the angle I shot it at. I had to go all the way around the building in the snow to get the sun to my back. my histogram was perfect on this one. #2269736

Thank you John. My wife's cousin works for a town in Northeastern Connecticut and has access to a restricted area where he has seen deer, wolfes, and other wildlife. I am planning my next summer already. #2294541
