Pa Summer Mornings


Misty mornings with heavy dew are typical of our summer morning in Pa.

A nice buck pauses from feeding to check his surroundings as daylight slowly washes over the countryside. Shooting with an ISO of 1000 I was able to achieve a 1/100 sec, shutterspeed which was enough to freeze the action of this nearly stationary scene.

Early morning light has a quality not present at any other time of day. When coupled with the mist and dew the images are well worth the effort of getting out well before the sun tops the horizon.
