First Shots

Today we went to Buffalo Lake NWR near Umbarger, Texas, so I could work my shutter finger and try out my new XT. We were lucky and found 12-15 mule deer laying in the tall prairie grass. At first, one pair of ears is all we saw, but soon they were not alone. Here are some shots I got. Click on them for a larger view.


I used a 75-300mm lens. The close-ups were taken at 300mm, handheld in windy conditions.

Thank you, Jeanne. I'm going to try to improve and not fall backwards. :)
