These twin fawns and momma doe amused me all morning. They grazed, nursed and romped across the ravine from our home; about 200 or 250 yards away (I think). Given the distance, I had to pull out the big lens. All of these shots were taken with my 980mm f.l. TEC APO 140 and a Canon Digital Rebel (300D) at prime focus.

The view through the camera viewfinder was quite noticeably vignetted, but the images are not. The camera must deal with full light vignetting with internal software? Only one of these images (this one) is cropped.

I hope you enjoy the images of these fawns as much as I enjoyed watching them! - Jim -

I hope you don't mind, Jim but I sent that first picture to my wife at work. Everyone thought it was so cute. It is now the office screen saver.
