My first official MT pics with my Canon 500.

So I was sitting up and waiting for Monday night football to begin and I was bored like hell, so I decided to go outside and take some pics in the dark, this was around 1 am and the game started around 3 am. And I must say that I would not take pics like this with a Leatherman so it was the Swisstool that was the lucky one. I am having issues with photobucket so I could not post all of the pics. I am still an amateur when it comes to photography so be gentle.

This turned out to be my favorite pic

Looks tops mate

The SwissTool looks tops when it is new, before the pretty red labeling wears off

Thanks guys, and MR. Whippy; ask and you shall receive.

On my way to the place that I took the pictures I saw something that I have never seen in the 24 years I have lived here, and that was a deer just standing there and having a nice little meal. Well it’s not the first time I have seen a deer in my neighborhood, I have seen Elk, Fox and other wildlife where I live but just not in that part, it’s surrounded by apartment buildings and streets and there is quite a distance for an animal that is easily frightened to walk back to where it came from.

Anyhow, this could have been a great picture if I had a different lens and some kind of support like a monopod but you can se the deer, it’s a bit blurry but you can still se it. I do not hunt but for me this looks like an easy kill.

The first picture I took of the deer I used the flash by mistake and you can’t se a darn thing, but when I loaded all the pictures to my PC I saw that the deer was looking straight at me and you can se it’s eyes glowing. I’m just surprised that the flash didn’t scare the animal of.

And when I first was in a place surrounded by threes in the middle of the night I tried out different settings and experimenting, most of the pictures turned out to be nothing but crap but there was some pictures that I do like.

This was taken with the landscape setting but I had no support at all so the picture is a little blurry but it’s probably why I like it and I like the color in the picture.

This picture was taken with the full auto setting and you could not se much.

But then I chose the landscape mode again it became a completely different picture

And these 2 I just like.
