DSLR Photography Forum

Some of you know that I am trying to get a good pic of deer..Im trying to get a good one to print for my dads birthday in March..
They are getting better slowely..thought I would share my last ones I took the other day With Tripod finally because these were across the road which made using it easier then just pulling over ya know..

This one here even though the deer are out of focus I like the photo lol I just wish that the deer would have been looking up.

I like the last one best - although you may want to adjust the white balance to avoid the blue colour cast.

I agree with WS. The last is a great capture.

I like all three, but agree with the comments about #3 -- it's the best one, but would benefit from a colour tweak to get rid of the blue tint.

These are a lot better than your earlier photos. Good work.

Looks like you got their attention in the last shot Teri, nice work!

I also like all your pictures Teri.
I like a lot your idea in #2. It is an uncommon picture but beautiful. My only suggestion is to have the tree in focus in a position that frames the picture not in the middle because there it obstructs the view of the deer.

Thanks everyone...
hmm I wonder if my camera has the color tweaking button Ive not noticed it..I will look.

Oh maybe you mean when I have transfered the pictures on the computer? Tweaking it that way? awww lol Ok..

Teri - it has to do with your white balance setting. If you shot this with a shade white balance you would see a vast improvement. Nothing that can't also be done in photoshop later.

Teri , you are showin that practice makes perfect . I really like the 3rd one . And agree with WS , the white balance is a little off. I dont know if you can shoot RAW ( or what camera you are shooting ) but that would help .

YOu may be able to edit the color balance and tone down the blue that way too .
I think you did a good job on these . keep goin after them!!!
