Warren G. Locke February 13, 2010

Great shot Howard!! To make a capture of wildlife is harder than I thought. Last week I sat in my deer blind and two doe popped out. I was so excited to see these beautiful animals in my view finder. I gently squeezed my trigger release and both does immediately look at me and bolted! I was horrified! I later realized my AF Assist was on. I am sure there is a learning curve and I will be back! #8379826
