Greybeard Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Good luck at work or play today. Just going through the motions. Haven't had a buck on camera in a while. Maybe I can shoot a doe or two with the Canon today. Rjtfd, nmc02, Rusty and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greybeard Posted September 26, 2022 Author Share Posted September 26, 2022 Good morning so far. Wiped a bug off my face and had a deer snort a couple times just 20yds away. Too dark for me to see it. Saw the white ass walk away, then another started snorting a dozen times. After 5 minutes I saw movement and 2 came within 10-15yds. It was just getting light enough to get a few pics set at 1/25 and f/2.8. There were 3. Camera clicks spooked them and they headed back down. Pics later. electric10162, deadonshot2, Rjtfd and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine goes up to 8000 and down to 30 seconds. 1/25th is a quarter of a second. 1/400th of a second is what you shot at. Had it maxed out at 6400iso. Camera picked them out but it was still too dark to see to shoot. DonW and hunterbob1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faster Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I had plans to hunt this a.m. because I had a late start planned for work, but I chose to sleep in instead. Good luck to you guys. Greybeard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or rest the camera on something. Had my knees up to rest my arms on. f/2.8 is also narrow depth but it still came out in focus better than I thought it would. Good to have them holding still looking at me. First couple were blurred before they heard the camera and froze, had it on 1/40th at first and they were also too dark. megavites, JFC1, Buck154 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
