From my new Canon Eos 60D @ about 5 frames per second, using the EFS18-135MM kit lens. Very sharp imaging. Order is reversed.

Still amazes how easily they can clear a fence higher than they are tall!

+1

my neighbor just moved out to the country from the city. they put a 5' fence around their garden to keep the deer out. LOL

p.s. i like the Blue Moon bottle on the fence post behind the deer. YUM
 
I've seen em wrapped up in bobwire, but never have I seen anything like those cemetary images, I almost would think they have been photo-shopped.

what the heck is bobwire? is it like fredwire? or are you talking about "barbed wire"?

lol sorry i couldn't resist.
 
Barbed wire


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Roll of modern agricultural barbed wire
Barbed wire, also known as barb wire[1] (and sometimes bob-wire[2] or bobbed wire[3]), is a type of fencing wire constructed with sharp edges or points arranged at intervals along the strand(s). It is used to construct inexpensive fences and is used atop walls surrounding secured property. It is also a major feature of the fortifications in trench warfare (as a wire obstacl

You got me thinking, but here it is listed. :)
 
A funny story from a construction site in Siberria circa 1980. A friend of mine was unloading some supplies durring a winter storm. He was leaving some of the supplies outside and moving some into a warehouse. He told an another American they were going to leave Bob Wire outside. A Russian latter inside approached my friend saying she was very worried about Mr. Wire out in the cold and suggested he be allowed to come in since it was so cold no one would be out stealing.
 
More gymnastics....

There is actually four bucks in the original shot, but it was cropped out when I blew up the image. Shot was taken at about 300 meters with a Canon EFS18-135mm zoom, which is why they had to be blown up.

300 meters?! And all these years I assumed wildlife photographers were just remarkably skilled stalkers :D

Awesome camera and great pictures, man.

There is a video on youtube of a buck caught up on a barbed wire fence...the photographers are debating whether they should put it out of its misery or let it suffer until the game warden gets there.

Not a pleasant sight at all
 
Feanor,

I have a photography question for you.

What resolution do you have the camera set at??

I noticed that all the have a file size of plus or minus 100kb. While that resolution is more than adequate for posting up on the internet, that resolution would most likely be of little value if you want to print them. Enlarging them to an 8x10 would be futile. And make no mistake, eventually you will take a photo suitable for display on a wall or desk.

May I suggest, if you haven’t already, set your camera to the highest resolution possible. In doing that, most likely the file would be too large to upload to the internet or internet forums. However, if you are interested in knowing how to handle this problem, PM me and we can discuss it or if there are others who may be interested, we might be able to discuss this in a different thread. BTW, handling this is done with the progs you already have on your computer with the addition of a free download. No outlay of additional money.

Beautiful pics tho.

You can set a deer free that's caught between the top strands of a barbed-wire fence - I've done it - but you have to use sticks or bars to bend the wire enough to free their leg. Just be careful you DON'T get close enough for a panicked animal to either kick you or thrash around and get you snagged, too.

The images were taken in P mode on a Canon Eos 60D with the kit EFS18-135mm IS lens. The camera is new to me, so I'm in the process of learning, it was imaging at 18 megapixels, however the lens was greatly out of its depth at such range, nonetheless, for the money, its a very decent kit lens, capable of surprisingly sharp imaging.
