Velvet Buck

Uploaded: October 16, 2003

Description

Cades Cove in the Smokies; After spotting this buck, my husband stopped the vehicle, I got out and took several shots, walking closer each time; the buck just looked at me, turned, & slowly wandered deeper into the forest. Even though I was born, raised, and still live in the country, this was wonderful to see one of God's majestic creatures so close! My husband was all a twitter too (he's an avid hunter!) 80-200mm lens, hand held, no flash, mid day; buZZed in PSE

I love the shot and the PS effects!! What filter do you use to get the buzz? #234168

Lana Manis October 16, 2003

Thanks, Ann, Stephen, Murry and Gayle! Murry, I'm glad I did the shooting, too!
Gayle, go to www.fo2pix.com and download the free trial buZZ filter. I know it works with Photoshop Elements 2.0. I'm sure it lists other compatible programs. Have fun and be warned...it's addictive!!! #234207

Lana,
Thanks for the download information. I use Adobe Photoshop 7 and don't have that filter. I can see that it will be addicting!! #234218

This is outstanding, Lana!! A great capture of a special moment. I love the buzz, too, but I've been on that bandwagon a while! Cades Cove is such a super place.... #234327

Thank you, Larry! And, yes, Cade's Cove is a great place to visit. We've been there several times throughout the years. #234471
