Deer at Metro

I knew that there were deer at Metro Beach, but I had never actually seen them. I've been walking the nature trail off and on this summer working on my photography, but I was never there at the right time of day to see deer, not to mention I don't exactly walk quietly through the place. I was coming back up to the parking lot yesterday when I happened to spot this little doe just chilling off the path. At 3pm! She sat there patiently while I walked around snapping photos and I managed to get a decent one! She was still sitting there when I left. Someday I'll post something besides nature shots, I swear! Nature makes for a very patient subject so it's good to practice with. :)

Attempt at a panorama. This was cropped into this view and messed with the lvls a little bit in photoshop. Taken in sepia tone at the time.

I love Greenfield Village but it can be very hard to take photos without some tourist ending up in your shot. Nothing like Uncle Jimmy and his bermuda shorts ruining you photo. The far right of this photo showed a walkway with visitors walking on it. I'm trying to get better at cropping and following the rule of thirds. I think I'm getting better. At least I hope I am.

Oh! And check out my sister in laws website for some awesome nature photography www.hubinsky.com

Phil and I headed to Metro Beach last weekend, or maybe it was two weeks ago, anyways, and had ourselves a nice walk.
Someone was doing a professional photoshoot in the lake with a model. Though I don't know who in their right mind would voluntarily get in that water.

Is there ever a lifeguard on duty there?
