Newborn
by Patrice Cigallio Wesa (Patrice Cigallio) 
Camera:
Canon PowerShot S3IS
Location:
Ironwood, Michigan
 
United States of America

Photographer Notes:
This little fawn was born on 6/19/09 at 4pm along the side of a path that I frequently walk on. I hesitated to enter it because it looks so much like the other fawn whose birth I had witnessed last year. However, it is an entirely different shot.

Thanks so very much Mary, Ellen, Leif, Douglas, Doug, Jeannie, Christine, Jim, Bill, SaMi, Melinda, Robin-Lee, Linn, Dee & Joan for your kind comments. And thanks, too, KK for posting one of my images today. I have to admit I was very fortunate. We have many deer around here in the city & they are very used to people being around.

I took this shot from about 12 feet away with a focal length of 44.0mm, Aperture Priority, 1/15 second, F8, WB cloudy. I was initially walking my dog when I spotted it & unfortunately scared the Mom away who was lying next to the fawn. I came back a few hours later with my camera & captured the shot while lying down bracing my elbows on the ground as close to my body as I could to stabilize the camera. Our neighbor keeps this area pretty well mowed as the path in the woods is on his property.
Norma Smiles commented on September 18, 2009 12:55:
Wonderful shot, Pat, and a great story to go with it. Congratulations!
