Pre-Determine

The fog was just right. The Sunday morning sun was just right. I grabbed the mountain bike and took off down Price Creek to photograph the lilies in the ditch. I used the Canon S95 and the Nikon D3100 with the 18-200 lens. I wasn't too pleased. I rode down 245A toward Rossi Road. I knew there would be the possibility of deer crossing the road. I stopped to make sure the settings were correct on the camera.
And sure enough, ahead was a lone deer watching me. All I had to do was point, frame and click,click, click. Three was all I got. But, three more than I would have gotten had I not pre-determined the possibility.
Manual mode set at a speed of 400 to stop action. ISO 800 to allow the higher shutter speed. Aperture 5.6.
Which shot do you prefer? I chose the third in full stride. I would have liked to have gotten one with her standing on the side of Rossi Road looking at me, but hey, I am not that fast. Time she saw me she started across. The scripture applies to all aspects of life. Always be ready to give an account.
