The Chase is On!

ISO 1000, 1/10sec, f5.6
 Yesterday was cool and rainy.  Clearing overnight the temperatures plummeted jump-starting the whitetail rut.  As day began to break bucks could be seen pursuing does; sometimes at break-neck speed!
The low light levels were perfect for panning with the racing bucks.

As the light increased I decreased ISO and increased F stop to maintain a slow shutter speed.

ISO320,F5.6,1/1000sec
Bright light and fast shutter speeds allows the sharp capture of a racing buck as he attempts to catch up with the waiting doe.

It will be a few days yet until the does are ready to breed.  In the meantime the eager bucks will continue searching in hopes of finding a willing mate for now is the season............The Chase is ON!
