Location
I took this photo at the Ojibway Nature Center in Windsor , Ontario , Canada. Ojibway is a natural green space located within the City of Windsor. It is larger than Central Park in NYC.Time
This was taken about 10 am. The deer are up and about at that time and are wandering through the green space that is located within the city.Lighting
Natural lighting was used.Equipment
This particular photo was taken with my Fujifilm HS30 EXR camera. I do not use a tripod when I take photos in Ojibway as I am always moving so this is a hand held photo.Inspiration
When we go to Ojibway it is always with the hope of seeing the deer. There are many does in the woods, along with a couple bucks. My husband was feeding them (they are very used to humans) apples and grain. This deer was one of the less timid ones and came right up to us. She is beautiful and I knew I had to capture her.Editing
I may have cropped the photo a bit, and added shadows in order for her to stand out more but routinely I do very little post processing.In my camera bag
I have 3 cameras to choose from. My fujifilm HS30 EXR , Canon T3 Rebel and a Nikon D3200. I usually use my Canon camera, however my Fujifilm is great for macro shots and I have yet to use the Nikon. I also carry with me my new lens for my Canon a 55-250mm that my husband bought me for my birthday. He knows how much I like to get shots from a distance so as not to disturb the animals.Feedback
If you want shots like this, go somewhere that you know deer congregate. Take apple slices, carrots, grain. If you have to , toss the food toward them, as many will not approach humans. If you can get the deer close enough to take a shot, do it. Be quick about it, as deer normally do not stand and pose for you. Do test photos of your surroundings if you are using natural light. Get that done before the deer appear. You will not have time to adjust your settings once the deer are in your viewfinder. Lastly, enjoy the sheer magnificence of these creatures. They are beautiful.
