Deer Up Close

This is a bit of a shift from my previous posts in this series, because the scale of both the subject and what constitutes "close" are both quite different.I also pulled out my ancient Sony Cybershot pocket camera in an effort to add some optical zoom because the cell phone camera was a disappointment here. The old camera's lenses helped some, but it is getting tired.

These critters are a nuisance. They raid vegetable gardens and flowerbeds. They jump into traffic and cause car wrecks with what I suspect is malicious intent. Bambi is bullshit. White-tailed deer have declared war on civilization. As such, I hold no animosity for avid hunters. [/rant]

As you can see, this cell phone camera shot looks less washed out, but not as up-close. This particular doe let me within perhaps 25 feet (8 meters or so) before finally getting skittish. There was another with a fawn in the underbrush. They were less curious, or more paranoid.

It's an infestation, I tell ya!

I need a proper camera.
