Behind The Lens

Location

i saw a few head of bucks across the road from my house so i got my camera and walked over to the big trees and looked at them and took a few shots but couldnt get them to look up so i walked out into the clearing and said hey boys how about a good shot for me and the camera, the big buck looked right at me and the little one with his broken horns just stood still so i took a couple of shots and them backed away very slowly and watched them start to eat they knew i was no threat to them as they have been in my yard drinking out of the bird bath, it was a great day to see them again,

Time

first thing in the morning i seen the deer and watched them cross the road the sun had just cone up, so i walked over across the road and started taking the pictures.

Lighting

i waited until they got out of the direct sunlight and got under the trees too alot of shots but this one was one of the best, nice buck.

Equipment

my nikon with a lens that comes out to do close ups or far away shots,

Inspiration

i use to hunt buckks in utah when i lived there with my family but after awhilei got tired of hurting beautiful animals i wanted to see them in the wild like our wild horses but do to horse haters they are almost gone in colorado they are being fed to all the people that came acrros the border, now our wildlife is also almost gone, so i wanted to keep something so beautiful and nice and big for me to remember how free things use to be, born free, live free stay free like the wild horses,

Editing

no

In my camera bag

extra batteries i try to make sure i have a new memory chip to start with

Feedback

it takes time and the right place some times when i riding my horse i see some great things never give up good luck
