Description
If you like my photography, please considering purchasing a print, the sales will go towards repairing my camera- After having medical bills from being very sick, I don't have the cash to repair it so I am trying to drum up print sales so I may continue to do what I love; photography. Sunday night while on a photoshoot up in the mountains, my camera gave up the ghost. It would appear the shutter died completely. After having just spent nearly a full week very ill in the hospital, I don't have the money to get a new camera or even repair it (it's loooong out of warranty) They say when it rains it pours, I think I must be going through a flood. I'm quite sad by it all as photography is my relief from an otherwise completely crazy world, it offers me peace of mind which I don't find anywhere else. This year has been incredibly hard for me, from being sick where I am facing my own mortality (because being septic is fun! Not.) to finances from hospital bills to just keeping my sanity, I have always gone to my camera to find comfort. Not much I can do now though I guess. I'll be honest with you all, it's hard being on here seeing everyone's awesome photos knowing that you can't do a dang thing to enjoy the same thing. In fact, it is downright depressing. Literally. Maybe I'll find a winning lotto ticket on the street lol About the photograph- A White-tailed deer buck hides in the grasslands while enjoying the golden hour sunlight here in Colorado. Photographed using my friends Sony a65, this camera continues to amaze me with its focus abilities. This is a shot I would have had a hard time getting with my Sony a550. I loved the light I had to work with and it really made for some nice drama against the darkened forest

What a wonderful shot, marvelous!
You managed to use elements of a conceptual shot, like those lines of lights and shadows as well as postitioning the object of attention not in the center but respecting the golden ratio. Thereby you're creating a harmonious tension that keeps the shot from looking like a boring spontaneous snapshot
You preserve and somehow transmit something of that magical, singular and indeed spontaneous moment in which a photographer takes such a shot.
Looking at the photo feels like actually beeing there, watching the deer on your own - great work!

After visiting Colorado, I instantly thought of your photography, thinking, "Ah! So THAT's where they take all those beautiful photos! Their camera doesn't lie."

That's really pretty....I assume you got this sometime in the summer? I can see that the deer has the velvet still on it's ears. Really really neat photo.
