Too funny and glad you came home to let it out

I walked up a local hill on Sunday, and spotted this Fallow Deer, just as she spotted me.
She stood motionless just long enough for me to capture a couple of shots before disappearing over the ridge.

It was quite dark so the auto ISO bumped up to 2000 so apologies for the noise.

No apologies needed that is a great picture!

I don't know what all that camera lingo means but your photo looks perfect @CeeJayH

 

[Gemma]

Thanks everyone for sharing all your awesome shots!

I wish one of you would come to my house and take shots of my fish, cause I sure don't know how to!

Gemma,

have you got a large glass vase or jar? One big enough o hold your mobile phone? Set your mobile phone's camera to record a video, put the phone into the vase, and put the vase into the water. Hold the vase so the phone is under the water level (obviously keep the top of the vase above the water level - you don't want it filling with water). You should get a good video of your fish that way.

Tape it to the side of a quart jar (inside!lol) , put the lid on tight and move it around taking pictures. Turn it on before you sink it lol.
Make sure the jar seam or words are not across the lens.

I actually got a submersible camera for Christmas last year, but never got around to learn how to set it up
This seems a lot easier, thanks for the Tip!

This might seem like a dumb question, but how do you take pics if the phone is in the jar?

 

[j.w]

Video only and turn it on before you put in jar

The Junco in my hand had a broken leg, my vet put a cast on and 6 weeks later e released him.

Rescued this girl from the street. No mom was around. I know a squirrel rehabber, she doing good she says.

 

[j.w]

@Burd You are a good critter helper and it shows so much that you have a deep love for them all. Amazing a vet would be able and willing to try to save that little bird

 

[Gemma]

@Burd It makes me smile when I see people like you, that's when I know there's still hope in this crazy world!
