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.

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.

Probably blew this spot out. Will sit just a little longer

400 is pretty fast shutter speed. 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.

Pretty hard to hold steady freehand in low light. Do you use a tripod? Or rest the camera on something.

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.

Finally think I beat the covid, may get out this afternoon. My good bucks have disappeared from the camera.

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.
