Raven they are obviously all friends of yours as they are all posing for the camera!

Beautiful pictures again!

Whoor of a picture of loyal and hope in the signature - do you have the original??

[Raven]

@ buggyracer
All of those shots were done with a Canon 20d and a Canon 75-300 DO IS USM zoom.
@ Julia
Yep, it seemed they were my friends, VERY shy ones though... you get only a couple of pics and then they say Byebye....
@ cullbucket
Yes I have got the original slumbering somewhere on one of my drives.

Ahh, Raven, what can I say, your photo's, like lots of others on here make me dribble with envy. I think I need to get out there and take a few shots. Right then, I'm off!

i use a 400d just getting to grips with it, do you use photoshop much as your colours are very vivid?

My cam has some built in parameters wher I can set sharpness, contrast, saturation and color tune. Just checked this on on the 400d, but it does not seem to have it.
However, I feel that most of the pics need post processing in PS.

Amazing pics Raven

Raven, that is a good site. Just had a scoot round and found lots of good images. I like the photo 105 in people of the chap with an orange hat and braces on his teeth - but I can't help wondering if the photos numbers won't remain the same as new ones are added. I am going to look at the techniques section a bit more.

I can also reccommend pbase at http://www.pbase.com/sleeper55/closeups&page=3. This is one of my favourite pages. There is a huge variety of photo types here.

Inquisitive deer

The light was poor so the image is a bit shakey


but a star in the making

Inquisitive deer

lol, almost a macro shot of the deer! did it try to eat you cam?

I have seen deer just above the Bettyhill houses quite a few times, just towering above on the rocks....

Hello Raven, Yup, deer think that cameras are deer food. The deer were'nt there so i was trying to take a boring shot accross the caravan park. The first thing I knew was when something shoved my arm while I was composing the picture and the deer deceided that cameras were food. I have no idea where she was hiding - or maybe it was just good camouflage.

They are very tame and easy to photograph - just keeping them at arms length is difficult.
