Asleep in the garden.

Woke up late a couple of Saturdays ago, opened the curtains and there, at the top of the garden was this small 4 point buck.

He was curled up obviously knacked from barking at me the previous day.

I grabed the camera - which stands in the corner on it's tripod - made a few adjustments. Height, rotation, apeture and ISO and stalked up

the garden path in my mochasins. I got to 15 yards and framed him knowing he'd get up left to right. I got a few more as he ran up the hill.

He wasn't as panicked by the camera noise as I thought he'd be. Canon EOS 30D + Sigma 400mm F5.6
 
lovely job mate nice to see plnning on getting into some o this stuff myself beats lookin at dayed thangs most of the time
 
that's great, well spotted but I've a feeling most would have been thinking about grabbing something else before a camera!
 
Love the transition from photo 1 to 2... eye opens, ears prick forward - ALERT!! :D
 
Yep -never shoot anything in your garden that you'd like to see come back. I'll see if i can dig out the images of the sika stag eating apples off my tree from last year.
