Shooting Deer

...With a camera, of course!

Finally, after all our rides where we either saw wildlife but had no camera, or had a camera, but saw no wildlife, we had our camera AND were able to capture a deer who crossed our trail on this morning's ride.



I saw her cross the trail, then she bolted away, but stopped to look back at us, giving me a chance to get the point-and-shoot Lumix DMC-FZ1 out of my pocket. The six-time optical zoom let me get a fairly close-up shot, despite the distance and hazy morning conditions.

And the moral of this story is: don't leave home without it!

Nice shot - it's amazing that you managed to get the camera out and snap the picture so quickly. It sounds like you have been getting the same weather as we have been in Montreal. The last two days were the first dry ones in a month.
