A Bang of a Trail Cam Photo

[phade]

An acquaintance of mine in Ohio set out to capture a solid deer/fireworks shot during July 4th weekend. Actually, a small group of us discussed how to best get this done, and a few of the people were on properties where there was a chance to see fireworks in the background. With some discussion they set up accordingly.

 

One ended up with a nice sequence of about 7-8 shots of this buck with fireworks in it. Pretty good trail cam capture.

Awesome picture! I have never seen anything like it. And I'll bet it did take a good bit of planning to get that shot! Nice job and thanks for sharing!

Great pic...looks like he has front row seat for the fireworks!!

That's a sweet pic. He should submit it to the field and stream trail photo contest they are always running.

Really cool.

Very cool!

So how was it pulled off..., driveway alarm unit mounted with the camera?

That's probably the first way I'd think to stage a shot like that.

That is pretty cool. He doesn't look too scared, I always wondered what the wild life thinks of the noise from them.

He looks like he's watching the show!

really cool pic. I actually caught a video of a buck on the 3rd of July a couple of years ago and you could hear the town fireworks going off (thats when they do theirs every year) a couple of miles away.

Rare shot.  Even to try to get it done, it takes a lot of luck timing wise.

That has to be one of the coolest pics posted yet.

Great pic. That deer is thinking "Oh C'mon! It's not enough I have to dodge arrows and bullets! Now what are they throwing at me?".
