Deer... 2 Bucks 08-11-26
Deer…Two Bucks… seen on my morning walk with Peaches, my Golden Retriever. It was about 15 minutes before sunrise with very little light out for practical purposes it was still dark outside. I saw two deer in the distance. When I looked at them through my binoculars I could see they were bucks.
I decided to photograph them to see if I could see the size of their racks.
I’ve seen both of these deer in the last month or so, but I haven’t been able to get a shot of them.
The first three images I used the current version of DxO to clean up the noise. The next two images I used an earlier version of Topaz for the noise.
The last image I didn’t use any noise reduction.
I watermarked them all “Do not Use” . I’m only using them for the purpose to let me know their overall size.
When I’m walking Peaches in the morning if I bring a camera and lens then I’m usually bringing my 300mm f/2.8 with a 1.4 TC so I’m shooting at 420 mm. These images are cropped.
1/640 at f/4 ISO 12,800 with an additional 1 3/4 stops of light in Lightroom so I can see the deer.

Sandhill Cranes 08-01-26
This morning Peaches and I were coming out of the Elm Creek Park Reserve into a local park when I heard some Sandhill Cranes making lots of noise so we walked over to see what was going on.
Our morning walk...
On our morning walk Peaches and I came across a female Cardinal preening herself after a very wet night. Next we found a Indigo Bunting.
