TTArtisan 250mm f5.6 Reflex lens: Narrow depth of field, sharp objects, and a lot of golden donuts...

Oct 18, 2024: Night of the Hunter Moon, when the deer came out to play.

More compression of space.

Shot with "The Big Donut" (Vivitar 500mm reflex lens)

There were 19 of them in this herd. The TTArtisan 250mm is simply not wide enough. 😂

By the way, I found out that you only call a large group (~20) of deer a "herd." Lesser number are still being refer to as "deer." (English is weird, to Internationals.)

I like both the straight look and the side look. Which one is better to you?

The deer are out on the field at the Wildlife Nature Reserve -- like us, waiting for the rise of the Hunter Moon.
