A Monday evening right at the beginning of July. Trying to fully remember what we were doing, but I think we had gone to this park for a short walk and to play Pokemon. Considering I have no other pictures from this day, makes me think we just stayed in the car though and hit some stops in the parking lot. But I definitely had started bringing my camera bag with me more places, and thankfully I had it with me on this day. As my girlfriend was driving and we were leaving there\u2019s a good bit of stretch of road to this park, forest on either side. On this night as we were leaving, we spotted deer out right next to the woods. I grabbed the camera and started taking shots.<\/p>\n

Now what I do remember specifically about this day was the importance of camera placement, kind of a situational awareness. Because inbetween shots I was holding it lower than my face, more around my stomach. In the car. With the A\/C on full blast. <\/p>\n

So that lens fogged up real quick. Despite that and the fact that I guess I had the camera in auto mode, so it did some longer exposures that came out clear as mud. I did manage to get some halfway decent pictures, for the first time shooting deer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Was it after sunset so the ISO is really cranked up? Yeah, but what can you do. This was still me learning and thankfully it was a good experience. Which is all I ever hope for when I go out looking for wildlife. That and a whole lot of luck.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
