I had a late afternoon / evening meeting at one of our banks yesterday so on the trip over the sun was starting to set and the light was becoming soft and warm. I have photographed this old school before in the Summer time but when I went past it I notice how the light was bathing the front of the school so I had to turn around and capture some images. I’ll admit I didn’t spend a lot of time on this image. It was cold and the wind was blowing. So as we know from our past discussions I have a pretty high wimp factor and a low tolerance for bitter cold. 🙂
A little further down the road I saw a deer crossing the road. I know from experience on this road that there are a lot of deer and they always seem to come in pairs so I slowed way down as I approached the area. Then another couple of deer darted across the roadway followed by another one. I thinks to myself is there something going on here?
I still had my camera on the floor from the school shoot and on a hunch I eased up a little closer and this is what I saw. All total there must have been 20 deer crossing the road. I still had the camera set up for the first shot so I ended up with a little motion blur on the deer. After rattling off 15 images I noticed that the shutter speed was down to 1/25 of a second and my f-stop was at 10. Too late to make changes as the crossing was over. I thought about coming around this corner in the night-time at normal highway speed and seeing this sight. Ugh!
That’s it for today. Enjoy your day. Thanks for stopping by and be careful.
