Backyard Summertime Nature in New Jersey.

Vigilant Doe with Two Fawns. The Deer have not seen me for the last 3 months while I was away on the Semester at Sea MV Explorer. This doe stared at me for almost 15 minutes — probably thinking “who is this stranger in my backyard”. Image taken with a Nikon D4 camera and 600 mm f/4 VR lens (ISO 1600, 600 mm, f/4, 1/60 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CC 2014.

Backyard Summer Nature in New Jersey.

Running Fawn. Images taken with a Nikon D700 camera and 28-300 mm lens. For the first image, the camera wasn’t fast enough to capture focus. Second image, the rear part of the deer was closer in focus, but I no longer had the full animal in view.
