Always had an interest in photography. How about you?

Sky fire over Bell Buckle

My love of a great photo goes back to black & white photography lab and Dr. Baldwin at MTSU. I eventually got my own darkroom, did some commercial and sports photography but nature had a special place to just enjoy.

This sky photo was grabbed last night with my phone because as many of you know, these shots are there for very short times. By the time I go in to get the SLR, it is totally different, if not gone entirely.

The deer below was done with a Canon EOS digital/75-300 zoom lens on sports setting. I was shooting the cat when the buck just walked up behind it, looked at what was happening then sauntered on. I could not adjust the lens for infinity without chancing the deer spooking.

I will not divulge the location of my friend's farm where this was shot to avoid the deer being shot by a different type of device. :-) At one time I was a hunter and avid fisherman. Now I try to capture on film these beauties and when I go fishing it is usually catch and release.

    I have no real interest in photography to the point of twisting this and flipping that to get a slightly better capture. But I do like looking at pictures, especially certain kinds (😉). I am glad to be able to preserve images with just a tap or two of the thumb on the phone.

    Don't be so sure that deer just happened to be passing by. Looks like the cat has a crew and you betta not mess with either of them!

    The cell phone camera sure has been a fun thing to have. I take a lot of my ebay pictures with it but Deb still opts for a point and shoot camera.

    You’ve got an interesting way of looking at the cat and deer. If something happens you think they were in on it together huh?

    Just from the looks on their faces, seems to me like the cat is daring you to do something, but the deer sure seems to be saying "you better not!".

    I would bet a dollar or however much you want that if something happened, it would be the cat's doing and the deer would be covering his 6.
