So, after the entire day of shooting and crawling around in the snow, I take all my gear off, peel off all the layers and I’m down to my base layer. Soaking in sweat, and just crap piled all over in my car. Ate a totally frozen taco. so good. Getting dark so I pack it in and start heading home. Decided to stop at the bathroom. When I opened my door, this crazy ass deer buzzes me. I literally dove back into my car and came out shooting. Luckily it was set to something near useable. ISO was at 800, f/2.8, and I rolled it up to about 1/500 to get this shot. I wish the ISO had been lower, but it doesn’t change too quickly. Deer had heard my shutter, stopped running, turned around, and walked back up to me. I know it’s a park deer…but this park is heavily hunted. Strange.  Oh yea… Also had to spend 10 minutes looking for my keys after she left.  Seems I just dropped everything when I dove back in for my camera ok. enough jabber.

I went out hiking today. Finally figured out a good way to sling a tripod, carry on an R-strap, and take a backpack with a few lenses in it. I haven’t had a ‘good day’ shooting in a long time. I dont know if any of the shots from today are really ‘amazing’, or even ‘good’. However, I enjoyed being out and taking shots. It felt good like it hasn’t in a long time. My focus was totally off and I was shooting all over the place, but you need that sometimes I think.
