Yesterday afternoon, this deer was standing in the middle of a country road as I passed by. I drove up very slowly so she didn't run far off. I know from experience that if I had gotten out of my car to retrieve my slr from the back, she would bolt. So I got out my S3, which I keep in the console between the front seats. This little camera has a terrific reach - comparable to over 400 mm. It's harder to control all of the variables of shooting - but it's perfect for a grab shot like this.
It's almost impossible to drive anywhere now without seeing deer. Two are often standing in our driveway whenever we come home. It's mating season, or soon to be, and the deer are bolder right now. Many more car/deer collisions occur in Oct/Nov than any other time of the year.
