Been damn hot here lately so I haven't been getting out much. Only 97 yesterday, so I gave it a shot.

Most of the furry critters were staying in the trees, but here are a few shots anyway.

Little guy

This lady had a couple fawns with her that were huge for this time of year and looking very healthy.

These guys were staying close to cover.

This guy was rather docile, but I didn't try to pet him.

Nice pics man. I realize the camera you shoot has lots of zoom, but even so I'm sure you were closer to that last demon creature than I care to be

Did you fail to notice that the last picture was NOT a "furry critter"? Other than that, they are great pictures.

Actually I wasn't zoomed too much, but my arms were extended as far as they could reach.

Actually this is the rare, and thought to be extinct, hairy bellied prairie rattler. I will see if I can find a better angle.

Nice pics. Were they with your new camera? If so, what's the verdict?

I haven't shot enough pics to know for sure, but so far, so good. Only problem so far is I tried to get in very tight on the snake (just to get the head or fill the entire frame with scales). Just wouldn't focus in when I zoomed. I tried macro, but didn't work either. I am pretty sure it would have worked if I had gotten within 6 inches or a foot, but I puzzed out.

Most of the photos were auto. Critters were a little spooky and didn't give me much time to experiment.

That awesome Miller, NO kids or women on your priority list yet. Keep up the good work.

Nice looking pics MT. I like the colors on the whitey doe.

 

[HuntnFool]

Nice pictures. That is one of the things I don't like with the FZ20 also. At full zoom it will only focus 6' or further. Thats why I bought the TCON-14B lens.
