Description
This is my Phantom Deer shot. I was taking sunrise shots one morning in Colorado. I wanted a large DOF so was shooting with a 1 sec exposure, f/36 and 5 sec self timer. I was almost set up for a shot when a deer's head literally poked into my viewfinder! I was stunned...
You would think that if that happened, I would be able to take a picture of it ...... but no....
I was so excited I forgot to change the camera settings - so.
1. I repositioned the camera slightly.
2. I pushed the shutter.
3. The camera started beeping (remember the self timer?)
4. The deer's ears perked up and he looked at me....
5. The shutter clicked open...
6. The deer bolted...
7. The shutter clicked shut...
You can see the results....

HaHa!.. I just read the story attached to this shot! Unlucky..but still a great shot! I've never seen anything like it before and so for that reason I think this may be a better capture than either your original intention..or a shot of the deer. Great stuff! :-)
