Uncut Grass

@Bob: I think so, but I am normally accustomed to seeing deer only in the early morning, evening, and night, and even then, usually in the Fall-Winter-Spring time frame, not in the middle of a hot summer day.

@Amir: Perfect, I don't know. "Perfect" would probably be at a shutter speed of at least 1/300, since I was using a 300mm lens. None of them were quite as sharp as I'd like, but looking through this lens is something like looking through a telescope when it comes to camera shake, and I knew I was going to lose a lot of shots at shutter speeds in the 1/50 to 1/80 range. I probably should have cranked up the ISO, but that creates its own set of problems, and I was already at 400; and anyway, to go from 1/80 to 1/300 would take at least two stops --putting me at 1600. See, that's what I mean by cheap lens --too slow. I was watching the Kubrick documentary the other day and they were talking about him using an f 0.1 lens on the movie "Barry Lyndon." You can bet that was an expensive lens.
