Backyard Summertime Nature in New Jersey.

Inquisitive Fawn with Spots.  One of the first images with a new Nikon D4 camera. It really was darker than this looks. This was taken at ISO 1600, and I have not done any noise reduction in post processing. Focusing was fast and accurate.

The fawn and doe were in my backyard. I took this with a 300 mm f/2.8 lens @ f/2.8 so the fawn is in focus and the doe is out of focus.

Backyard Summertime Nature in New Jersey.

Snack Time. This doe was minding her own business mowing my lawn when all of a sudden these two fawns ran up from both sides looking for some milk. I guess that they are not completely weaned yet, even though they went back to eating grass as soon as they were done.
